The voice of the natural world would be, 'could you please give us space and leave us alone to get along with our own lives and our own ways, because we actually know much better how to do it than when you start interfering''
We think there will be more zoos who decide they don't want to continue with elephants.
The zoo wanted to be a conduit for research. The novel thing with this is it will be used to get data with the Florida panther.
The zoo is highly regarded, obviously by its visitors and supporters, but also within the North American zoo community. As one of only 210 accredited members of AZA, the zoo stands among the best.
...The zoo doesn't have to get bigger, it can just get better.
The zoo does face some very significant financial challenges at this time. At the same time, taxpayers have made a significant contribution to the zoo over the past years, and that's what we want to protect today.
The Zoo Atlanta family is elated at the news of twin gorilla babies. We are proud to do our part to support a species that is experiencing such catastrophic decline in the wild.
I personally think it's going to be a zoo down here. Not everyone's comfortable shopping for lingerie when camera crews are in the aisles.
We must educate the public. The average person has no idea of what's going on in factory farms, in laboratories, circuses, roadside zoos or rodeos.
Living in a zoo means it wasn't always sparkly dresses, but I would still dress up. I had this pink sparkly dress and fairy wings, and I'd put those on and then go and dance in the zoo.
