Zoo Screwed

Posted on Tuesday, April 04 at 10:24 by eugene
That being said the occupants of the Quebec Zoo deserve to live their final days in security. But some beasts like a pair of grizzly bears are probably too old to be moved, even if a new home can be found for the lumbering orphans. Devastated zookeepers say they have no intention of destroying any animals, but they have yet to hear the shut-down plan from the zoo's owner, the Quebec government. "We have an obligation to these animals, and there is nobody here who is going to euthanize these animals just because the zoo is closed," keeper Karl Fournier said in an interview.

    Most animal rights activists are against Zoo's. They believe animals should be left in the wild. Obviously it's to late for these animals. You may recall that a few years ago anElephant from the Vancouver zoo was sent to a wildlife reserve in the states. It was all done by volunteers including the actual transportation. Perhaps you can get the ball rolling on this one.

    How exactly is it that the (regretable) closure of the Quebec zoo "exposed the continuing failure of the Neo-Conservative agenda"?

    "Joey the Bear meets Joey the Worker and they both get screwed by capitalism"?

    Have you checked out his website?

    Because the Liberals and other Quebec governments promoted the idea of the Zoo being self financing, downloading their commitment to the Zoo resulting in ridiculous price increases for adult attendance which led to a decline in attendance.
