Bum Zoo!

As I was walking home yesterday, I seen a lady giving some money to the infamous Wig Lady sitting on Market Street. Most people would think, "Wow, what a kind, generous person"... I myself thought, "What a moron.."

Then I got to thinking.. We live in a world where these "people" live on the street, and get handouts of money and food for free and can't escape living this way. Then I thought, this sounds familiar... very familiar. Oh yeah, this is the same exact life of a gazelle or a tiger in a zoo. They get handouts of food daily (money/food), live in their little environment (city blocks), and just walk around and sleep in their cages/pens (cardboard boxes).

That being said, I give to you...

BUM ZOO!



A small map of what could be a solution to help get the bums and hobos off the city streets.

Lets take a tour of the map and point out some of the landmarks in the zoo:

  1. The Feeding Pen: This is where the normal working class people of society can throw their left-over food scraps that they worked hard for and bought with their own money into the pen for a bum feeding frenzy!
  2. The Sleeping Pen: This is where you can see a bunch of bums sleeping on various stoops, streets, corners and grates. The Sleeping Pen is also set up to look like a mock city block! Awesome!
  3. The Looney Bin: Where can you find crazed bums talking to themselves? Where can you find bums walking around aimlessly? Only in the Looney Bin!
There are also some nice attractions and shops in the park. There is always a close by Forman Mills that bums can go to with their handouts to buy some new clothes at a discount price! Also, check out the hot dog stand! A bum's favorite snack! There are also convenient shops to buy 40's, shoes, and cardboard boxes!

So please, talk to your local representative, start a pledge, petition in your community, and help make Bum Zoo a REALITY!
