A Zoo Comment And My Reply

Jim said...

If it has been over a year, why havn't the animals already been removed. 

And Joe, if your wife was the vet how did she let 5000 animals die? Or is a vet tech someone not responsible for the care of the animals. I am sure I am missing something there, as well as 5000 seems like a high number. What kind of animals? Just curious.

My Wife was not there 24 hours a day and being the Vet Tech wasn't her only responsibility. Each Zookeeper, (at the time) worked a particular exhibit for six months and then transferred to a different exhibit for another six months. If the particular inexperienced Zookeeper didn't inform my Wife there was a question about the health of a particular animal she couldn't know something was wrong.

I can tell you a story in particular that really pissed me off. One of the Zookeepers was working a duck exhibit. When his six months was up and my Wife walked into that exhibit for the first time she found a mummified scull and bones of an exotic duck with an egg inside its body cavity. That means that duck had been dead for over a month and while the duck exhibit was small, clearly the drinking buddies of the former Director didn't do sh!t to clean or care for the animals. That's just SICK when someone is being paid and they ignore such mentioned animals.

That being said, my Wife complained to deaf ears for over a decade, hence why I personally went to the Mayor with documentation. The staff at the Zoo hate me because I called these a$$holes out and ultimately over time they've all been removed with the exception of a few. That Zoo should've been shut down years ago. If ALL people knew what goes on there they'd force it to be shut down.

So let's look at their current situation. No accreditation with the AZA, meaning the only oversight that held them even slightly accountable is gone. The Mayor now claims it doesn't mater, they don't need the AZA because he's spending millions on bike paths and couldn't care less of the gem of Salisbury, the Zoo. Do you not worry about these animals at this point?

The Zoo has always known in the past that they are in a flood plain. Hundreds of animals, (yes hundreds) have died by drowning, especially the Prairie Dogs. Jim, my Wife tried but couldn't save these animals and it broke her heart as she raised many, (if not most) of these animals at home when they were infants. The former Director insisted on putting sand in the soil and every veteran Zookeeper there begged him not to do so. The problem was, when it floods the burrows would collapse each and every time drowning hundreds of animals over the years. He was a very young a stupid Director but he was an a$$ kisser to the Mayor. 

Shall I go on Jim???

  3. 5:52, Jim's question was fair and reasonable. As was Joe's answer.

  4. Unfortunately the city has allowed the zoo and park to become dangerous liabilities.
    It seems they would rather spend taxpayer money to fund their clearly liberal agenda.
    Bike paths, gay parades, drag queen story time and rainbow 🌈 crosswalks.
    Roads, curbs and drainways lie neglected. Inspections are nonexistent. Neighborhood Services is anything but.
    Abandoned homes in disrepair and empty retail spaces are plentiful.

    That’s What Jake Built.

  5. It seems to me this guy may be attempting to somehow blame/connect your wife to the deaths of those animals. Typical behavior esp in this area but how about we focus on the problem and work to solve it instead?

  6. Solve it? The only way it is going to be solved now is for someone to make sure those animals are placed in a safe place away from the so called Salisbury zoo.

  7. Peta should have been called in on the way the prairie dogs and other animals were being taken care of why did no one report it and do so? Another cover up by Boy Mayor and his entourage of stupid friends.

  8. It sounds like the city has a zoo for appearances. It sounds good, looks good on paper, and a political boost maybe to the city and officials. Sounds like the same old thing. But if you can't do something right, if you're actually doing harm, it shouldn't be done. It really gets disgusting to me. I agree with 9:02. I am sick to my stomach with the immaturity, the incompetence, the ego games, the downright corruption in this city.

  9. Well I did everything I could possibly do to help the animals, as did my Wife. Now it's all up to you. Who's going to step up to the plate and take over.

  10. Thanks for your answer. I in no was implying your wife was responsible for any of deaths nor was I trolling as some readers have commented. Just wondering why the animals have not been taken away yet and thought 5000 was a high number. I have read your stories about the zoo and agree it has not been run properly in a long while if ever. This could be the beginning of the end of the zoo, and the mayor just doesn't seem to care. We shall see what happens in the future.

    I was thinking similarly. Whoever went to the zoo, did they not notice poor conditions? If so, why did they not say anything? And if they did say something, why did it not improve? Granted, the general public cannot see the stuff behind the scenes but surely something was noticed long ago.
