A wild life zoo keeper was recently fired for naming a chimp Dubya-is that fair?

No. It is not fair. The Zoo keeper is the person who would be with the animal most of the time, it is he who would address the animal. He has to name the animal so let it be him to name the animal.

off-course its illegal,you cant fire someone because off there politic opinions.if they took a day of work to attend then you can take disciplinary action as normal for lack of attendance,however you can only fire them if they have received previous verbal and written warnings.

Let's see.....Bush, the chimp;  Bush, Hitler; the stupid Bush;  the stupid Bush chimp; cross dressing cheerleader Bush:  (just a few of the names I have seen on Yahoo since I started coming on).    This is all so laughable,   Bush must be the brightest man on earth!  After all,   he aimed a hurricane at the gulf coast, he flew not one but two planes into the towers and found time to fly a third to the ground in Pa , he is single handily fighting a war, and he stole not one but two elections!!!  (this is just a small portion of the list of evil deeds libs have accused him of).  It's hard not to laugh,  Time for libs to grow up!!

I reserve that emotion for certain people in the Bush Administration.  I have no quarrel with Catholics or Muslims. \n- or Jews, Hindus, Agnistics, Mormans or Unitarians. \nBut as for president Chimp and his neocon handlers, a whole different story.

Liberals are the ones that worship chimps. After all, liberals consider them to be ancestors under the theory of evolution.\n\nSo you think George Bush is a chimp? I am quite sure he has accomplished much more than you ever will you jackass!

Absolutly not, just like its not right to call someone retarded or racist names. \nIts mean and hurtful to everyone involved.\nThen again you cant cure all of the idiots in the world that will still practice this behavior.

Once upon a time... there was this guy who was the president. While president, he got caught with his pants down and lied to try and save face. \n Now the opposing party knew this was the big break they had been looking for. One of the members boasted, "we could put a monkey in office now". And that is exactly what they did. \nThe End

Most of the time its a near endangered species.  They usually aren't so bad that they are on the endangered species list but are close.  It can act as a way for animal rights people to protect them even though they aren't at the needed population level to be protected.  This is true most times, but not all.

You would not have dared to ask this question if animals were in a position to speak and defend for themselves. There is no comparison between animals and politicians as no animal is as bad. Animals are not corrupt and they don't seem to be crooked either. They are plain and simple without having anything to hide and are unable to shout even when put to injustice. They mind their own!

I know the zoo in Washington D.C. only keeps endangered animals. The idea is that if they go extinct in the wild they can be reintroduced into the wild from the few remaining animals in zoos.

Are you crazy!  You have no choice but to sack her.  It is theft as well as just plain dishonest.  If you keep her on your staff You are reflecting a belief that you condone such activities.

The term "heckle" can certainly be construed differently by different persons.  In my opinion, your first example illustrates a gentleman asking a tough question to a political candidate.  He certainly has the right to ask that question, and shouldn't have to endure an assault because of it.  On the other side of the coin, however, is the allegation that this individual follows George Allen around regularly asking things that are not relevant to the campaign.  In that scenario, he should be prohibited from interfering with the event.  In your second example, the individual made a rude comment, and Barbra gave him a piece of her mind.  The Bush impersonator is part of her show.  Perhaps the individual wasn't aware of such, but maybe he should have known before he spent top dollar on Streisand tickets.  Anyone that knows Barbra knows she is and has always been very liberal.

Do you realize that posting a perons name and making accusations like you did, is illegal. If this person were to find out you have done this, he would be very smart to initiate a law suit against you. You might want to consider taking his name out, and maybe not worrying so much about the sexual orientaion of your co-workers.

Call animal protection and the police.  Beastiality is illegal.

If the owner's relative was not the best candidate for the position, it certainly wasn't ethical and that's called nepotism.  Unfortunately, I think it is legal.\n\nIt isn't fair, in my opinion, and demonstrates to other employees that the owner is not loyal to them or respectful of them.
