A Zoo in Adelaide, Australia has put human volunteers on display in an unused Orangutan cage. Their intention? To raise awareness of poor captivity conditions.

The humans will be staying in the cage for a month; they must follow the strict rules of ‘no nudity’ and ‘no misbehaving’, Australians claim these rules are too harsh and unreasonable.

A ‘Psychologist’ will be monitoring them to help improve future captivity conditions for the sake of the apes, and to maybe hush the quiet criticism toward having a reality show behind bars.

Regardless of their reasons, I’m starting to feel a lot better about my life, and I’m sure the Zoo owner is also quite happy in his new Mercedes.
