If we've all evolved from monkeys and apes then why "the zoo" shouldn't it be called "the family reunion?"

No, because the word zoo is derived from zoology. Also, just because we evolved from apes doesn't mean that we are directly related to them. Try a little harder next time.

actually there was a sad story about a Pygmy that was put in a cage and on display in the Bronx zoo... real story
see
Ota Benga: The Pygmy put on display in a zoo
by Ken Ham, Carl Wieland and Don Batten
First published in One Blood
Chapter 10
One of the most fascinating historical accounts about the effects of Darwinism is the story of Ota Benga, a Pygmy who was put on display in an American zoo as an example of an inferior race.1 The incident clearly reveals the racism of Darwinism and the extent to which the theory gripped the hearts and minds of scientists and journalists in the early 1900s. As humans move away from this time in history, we can more objectively look back at the horrors that Darwinism has brought to society, of which this story is one poignant example.

because we never evolved from monkeys but from a sub-species of the apes,and eventually the human branch evolved in a different direction developing a larger brain which you do not have.

Humans and apes evolved from the same ape like creature.
Humans evolved one way, apes the other.
Try and expand your mind by reading material on Evolution outside what's approved by your christian ministries.
http://evolution.berkeley.edu is a good start.
Happy reading goat herder.

Creationists....why intercourse/ Should sex not be called the family reunion? We all came from Adam/eve, so when you have sex, it is with your sibling/parent/cousin. The term family can not be used in cases when the relationship is so distant, as is the case with man and ape.

Using this logic, it works against the creationists to. Adam and Eve were the only humans at one point. Therefore all humans are descended from Adam and Eve. Every person shares the same great, great, great, ... great grandparents. Therefore everyone's related. By that logic I'm talking to my cousin.

The zoo is to protect the dumb animals from the smart-*** animals. Whay do you think they have those signs that say DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS?!
