Chiang Mai Night Safari

So the government has invested a huge amount of money into creating the Chiang Mai night safari. They have shipped over animals from Southern Africa to make it a truly exotic experience. The opening date keeps getting postponed, and there seems to be huge amounts of problems... one of them being that they were planning on also having an exoitc restaurant where you could first go to the Night Safari and see all of these wonderful animals, and then you could go to the restaurant and feast on Wild Zebra for 4,000 baht (about $100 US dollars) or how about some giraffe. Anyway, as one can imagine there was huge protests from environmental organizations and from the countries in southern Africa who are sending over the animals, so they've done away with the exotic menu. I find the whole thing comical in this really twisted way.
