Why are we always the ones to witness such awful behavior? It is not always even behavior as offensive as this. Yesterday I also saw someone spit a loogy (sp?) onto a tree at the Rhinos, so big it was dripping like a glob of tinsel on a Christmas Tree. Truly disgusting, I felt like vomiting. The Zoo spends money to employ a great landscaping team, who plants and cares to make the grounds nice. Would these people like someone to come and spit in their home? or garden? WHAT is wrong with people?
I see a wide variety of misconduct everywhere I go, but I've narrowed down my true disgust to situations involving animals and where they live.
Who are all the rest of the people who see this misbehavior and say nothing? Is everyone else a coward or do they not even notice because they too are despicable and think its acceptable behavior? Because in regard to yesterday, out of 30+ people, we were the only ones horrified AND I was the only one who went to report this behavior to help my Chimp friends. Why do people who don't respect animals, come to the Zoo?
The event that happened yesterday at the Chimpanzee enclosure was horrifying on a few levels.
*The abusers thought it was acceptable to visit an animal park and terrorize the Animals who live there.
*The other Visitors, joined in by finding humor in this behavior and outwardly displaying it by adding to the laughter and heckling.
*The San Francisco Zoo Staff did nothing.
I am a believer in the thought that, everything happens for a reason. There was a reason we witnessed this event yesterday. How it developed and how it was handled has a direct connection to the situation regarding the revoking of the Memberships of Lee and I. If you aren't familiar with this situation, please read the blog, www.sanfranciscozoocrime.blogspot.com
Lee reported witnessing a Visitor who had been over a barrier at the Bear Grottos. This report when all was said and done, resulted in both our Memberships being revoked. The Zoo for whatever reasons (my true suspicions will eventually be made public) fabricated a story saying that "I had admitted to calling in a prank call." Obviously that statement alone is ridiculous, but I'll move on.
Yesterday, we and everyone else, witnessed a Visitor throw an object AT an Animal Resident. For this action, the man received a "warning."
So, to sum up, we report misbehavior and get our Memberships revoked, our names slandered and our reputations at a place we loved ruined, BUT someone actually assaults an Animal Resident verbally and with intent to do physical harm, and they get a warning? Was this offender asked if he was a Member? If he was, would his Membership have been revoked? The answer is a BIG FAT NO!
The way the San Francisco Zoo is being run, is becoming in my opinion, a bigger joke by the Visit. I commend them on one thing of recent, giving the Sea Lions Henry and Silent Knight forever homes. With that I have to say, if this City expects to have a Zoo for these Seals to live at forever, there needs to be a serious restructuring in Management at the San Francisco Zoo, because the current Team appears to be ruining what could be the best place in the City.
