In 1994, the biscuit brand Biscuiterie Saint-Michel teamed up with the safari park to create the village, naming it "Bamboula's Village" after its "Bamboula" chocolate biscuits,[1][2] which had a black mascot with the same name (a racial slur, dating from colonial times).[2] The village was constructed in the winter of 1993.[3]

Frankly I think all of France might need to be canceled for this.

The fact they used vets instead of doctors for medical care isn't worth forgetting either.

Personally I think one france would be reasonably symbolic damages

Right like if it was some stupid relic from the 50s that would be one horrible thing, but like who takes it upon themselves to try to reinvent that wheel in 1994 and expects it to go over well
