Is this ironic, or what?
A lesson in irony...
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is actually proud of the fact it is distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered
by the U.Ss Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals."
Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.
This ends todays lesson...

Not exactly "ironic"....going by the strict definition of the word.
But it is pretty darn amusing, nevertheless.

It mis very ironic; but the do not feed the animals is the free food stamps given to the drug addicts and the alcoholic addicts who are too lazy to work and the government helps them to live off of a meager earning of $600.00 per month along with all of the otherFREE subsidies and they think because they do not have to work month after month and year after year, that it is the obligation for the working class to feed them.-The money do mnot go to the household( family, children,assessories)
The money goes right to the neighborhood drug dealer, the pawn shop owner, and the liquor store owners- we pay for their addiction.

Yep. Also, south of Sarasota, FL, there's a dolphin named "Mooch" who has been approaching boats in the Intracoastal Waterway for handouts for decades. They passed an ordinance making feeding him illegal after he started teaching his offspring to do the same thing.

Not ironic. With food stamps you can pick which foods you want, you get options and still need to go search for your food. Bears don't get to chose if you give them tacos.
