[font size=5]Zoo Chimp Asking Visitors to Help it Escape Is By Far the Most Depressing Thing You’ll See Today[/font]

At the Welsh Mountain Zoo near Colwyn Bay, visitors are shocked when a chimpanzee appears to instruct them on how to open its enclosure so it can escape.

Upon closer inspection, the Internet has determined that the chimp is actually using British Sign Language to request the cracker that is on the ground behind the enclosure windows.

Either way, there is plenty here to be depressed about.
