Please tell me this story on the Home page is an April Fool's joke. There has to be another way to deal with the population of lemurs at Duke than killing them.

I believe the photo and the caption pretty much give it away as a joke. I'm with Tilly though, I wasn't laughing.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
I am really tempted to call the Duke Lemur center to find out if this is true or a horrible April Fool's joke.
I readily admit I don't know as much about the Duke Lemur Center as I should, but are there really "free range" lemurs? The use of "free range" is what made me assume it was a joke from the very beginning. That and the fact that I knew Lavabe wouldn't let it happen.
What triggered the 'April Fools Day' in my brain was the thought that Lavabe would certainly have had something to say about this before now!
In Florida we've got big issues with snakes/fish/birds/lizards that were pets and got away or were set free - and there is some culling going on to protect the local populations - so it wasn't entirely unbelievable...the lack of mentin of efforts to trap the 'free range' lemurs was the second warning sign...then I remembered it was April 1st.
Most definitely NOT funny.
Ol' Roy takes Kentucky job...now THAT would be funny.
I like to move it move it, I like to MOVE IT!
I hear Lemur is downright tasty, if you marinate it and cook it in a crockpot with a helping of veggies.
People actually took this seriously? I didn't think it was one of the better April Fools articles on DBR... too easy.
What most of you have missed is that the story was first posted about 11:45 last night, and was dated March 31st. I saw it and commented to Sue71. Glad they changed the byline date to April 1.
As for Windsor's comments, you better not be a deer romping through backyards in south Smithfield. We have legal bow hunting in this very residential neighborhood in order to "cull the herd". And this is for real!
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!
Go To Hell carolina, Go To Hell!
