It's live TV everyone, don't say f*ck or bugger!
While filming a segment for Canadian TV on Toronto's CITY-TV Breakfast Television show, Bowmanville Zoo director, Michael Hackenberger, was caught swearing angrily at a misbehaving monkey, prompting online calls for a boycott of the zoo.
Austin the baboon, who was being led around on the back of a miniature pony (as monkeys are obviously known to do), jumped off mid-display, angering Hackenberger who swore under his breath, his lapel mic picking up every charming word.
"F*ck you, you c*cksucker."

Following a lot of backlash about the incident online, Hackenberger later released the below statement about the unfortunate f*ckin' incident.
Austin the baboon, however, could not be reached for comment at this time.
