The Salisbury Zoo Has Some Explaining To Do!


The following is the prepared agenda for the upcoming Salisbury Zoo Commission Meeting. Not only will the financial status be quite interesting, they've conveniently left out ANY information referencing the recent Jaguar death. They have also included the Carey Distributors, you know, the whores who want to donate $250.00 to exploit a Jaguar because they carry Jaguar Vodka. Great Timing!

According to the information I have so far, on 11-15 the animal died. On 11-21 the City reported they would receive Pathology Report on 11-21, NOTHING! Something isn't right Ladies & Gentlemen. The Zoo has traditionally covered up hundreds upon hundreds of animal deaths but there wasn't a Blog Site out back then to keep tabs on them and this one isn't going away until they admit, someone screwed up.

I would like to know what Zookeeper was working with that animal the day before its death. I believe I'll file a PIA request for that information today. If they want to continue covering up what happened to this animal, I want to get to the bottom of it. Hopefully it was something less complicated but according to the experts I've spoken with, signs would have shown up in the blood work within the first necropsy on this animal. In other words, disease is pretty much out of the equation. I'd also like to know what the CLOSED SESSION is all about?

The regular monthly meeting of the Salisbury Zoo Commission will be held in the
Administration Office on December 19th, 2007 promptly at 10:00 a.m.
The monthly financial report will be reviewed prior to the meeting at 9:30 a.m.

Lunch will be served.

Sounds like a meeting worth attending, even though the closed session will be to talk about the animals death, no doubt. I would suggest lots of people attend the meeting and bring written questions ( a requirement of the chair ) and comments.
