In a bizarre incident that has drawn international attention, a zoo in Argentina has removed the name 'Donald Trump' from an ape exhibit following public outcry. The exhibit, which featured a group of monkeys, had been named after the former U.S. president as a joke by zoo staff.
The controversy began when a visitor noticed the sign and posted a photo on social media, sparking a wave of criticism. A petition calling for the removal of the name quickly gathered thousands of signatures, with many arguing that it was disrespectful to both the former president and the animals.
Zoo officials confirmed to local media that the sign has been taken down and replaced with a neutral description. 'We apologize for any offense caused,' a spokesperson said. 'The naming was an informal decision by some staff members and does not reflect the zoo's values.'
