Doherty takes things zoo far

We've often wondered what sort of cummerbund throws rubbish into animal enclosures at the zoo. Now we know:

Pete Doherty.

It's not so much that he threw a joint into the penguin enclosure at Burford's Cotswold Wildlife Park; it's that someone who would try and pass themselves off as smart and sensitive would toss anything into a cage where an animal might eat it. You'd have thought that Pete might have sympathy for animals that have been rounded up and locked away behind bars.

The Sun, being something of a nihilistic publication itself, struggles to find any reason to come down on the size of the penguins, but then has a flash of inspiration:

It was a scene that would shock fans of animated movie Happy Feet — about a tap-dancing penguin and his pals.

Good lord, they can't run a story about someone poisoning animals in a zoo without having to find a celebrity angle for the victims.
