Still No Answers To Art Goetz Questions About The Zoo

Back on January 2nd, 2008 I wrote an article showing a letter Art Goetz drafted to Ron Alessi referencing the Jaguar at the Zoo and several other questions. He originally wrote his letter back on December 19, 2007. Jim Caldwell has still not responded to his questions and the President of the Zoo Commission, (Ron Alessi) flat out refused to answer any of his questions.

Obviously something serious happened with the Jaguar as the City has refused to say anything to the Press. Art has been a long time taxpayer in the City as well as plenty of time and money donated to the Salisbury Zoo. Dot Goetz volunteered at the Zoo for more than 18 years, (I believe).

So what say you Mayor? What happened to the Jaguar and why won't anyone answer Mr. Goetz' questions?

GO HERE to see the original article.

In the shape the zoo is in at this time, no doubt they will have a problem getting a qualified and commited person to take the job.

Look for the Zoo to be merely a memory within 2-3 years. It has been devastated by the "oversight" for almost 10 years of Barrie Tilghman, assisted in recent years by John Jacobs and Jim Rapp. It's in terrible physical shape and instead of trying to restore and rehabilitate the premises and exhibits, the Zoo Commission is promoting a huge expansion plan that will never be fully funded and should not be under any scenario.

Also a good waste of money to even have drawings and architecture done when you pay for something that you know will not bare fruit is a total waste of money.

They are scratching their collective butts trying to figure out how to build a $500,000 building and the want to see what the $36 million zoo will look like.

Of course it will look good for that much money, everything looks good on paper....Idiots.

What happened to the money Pat & Dick Hazel gave them for the Red Wolf exhibit/trail/unfinished fiasco?
