Verner had no money at the

22、 time and was offered a loaner apartment on the grounds of the Bronx Zoo. Benga had already lived a life that most people couldn't live across several lifetimes. He'd been widowed twice, escaped a mass murder, and had been previously enslaved. Despite having a backstory that sounds like a su

23、perhero origin story, he was treated increasingly like an animal as opposed to receiving respect.Benga was allowed to roam around the zoo grounds and was encouraged to do anything that would make him look like an andmaL Before long, they were tricking him into cages to play with the monkeys and apes
