The animals are taking a beating

by a transgender
When is the abuse of animals at the SF zoo going to be stopped?
Everytime I go there it seems the animals are either depressed, sickly looking or in a downright weird mood.
First it was the Elephants then it was the penguins and NOW its a Siberian tiger. (That tiger never did look well.)
Perhaps its the confinement or the weather or the people who are in charge and running that zoo.
Whoever or whatever it is someone has to stick up for those animals.
The animals are NOT well at the San Francisco zoo.
Dear San Franciscan politicians will someone Please step in and help the animals at the SF zoo.
If you don't WE WILL>

Something fucked up is obviously going on at that zoo.

I don't think zoos are such a great idea, anyway.

So how can we help the animals there?
by need their own bart cops
to look out for their security needs.

First write letters to all Supervisors in the City of San Francisco. Both by email and in plain letter form.
Then the zoo needs to be protested. Big time.

I myself am going to that zoo with a video camera and put it in their faces. I will put it in the face of a plain ole person who just works there and then I will go after whoever orders me out and after that if I don't get any answers then I will take the professional route and request interviews from whoever is in charge. Keep in mind no one will know who I am when I initially go in there with a camera.


If no action is taken:
More animals will probably die and they(zoo people) will open up another exhibit that brings in animals, once again from the wild, to play in their cages. Recently, the zoo just opened up an African Safari exhibit with healthy and energetic animals, but...? It will not last, those Giraffes and Zebra's will not be healthy for long.

If there is a response to this comment I will come back and post the Supervisors addresses.

Thank you. See you at the Zoo?
