This week's Cellar Image of the Day and Neatorama's pick of the week is this photo of a gorilla being taunted by beans!
What? You can't feed the animals at the zoo? Not in Japan! Well, at least for the bean-scattering ceremony on February 3 you can. On that day, zookeepers and visitors thew threw beans at a gorilla as part of a traditional ceremony to celebrate the coming of spring and to dispel bad luck!

You mispelled "threw"

From the photo it looks as if the people are in the cage and crying to the gorilla to be released!

Is this a cruel tradition, or just a colorful one? The gorilla probably doesn't know it's being taunted, after all.
