The disrespect for the Animals who live at the San Francisco Zoo, never stops, and what I read yesterday has to be the worst in regard to what is put forth in print. The Public Relations Department continually issues untrue and disrespectful press releases, but Director Peterson apparently has no couth either.
Director Peterson writes a "Director's Bulletin" which is posted to the Zoo's website. In a recent entry posted 4.27.12, in reference to recently passed 50 year old Great Horned Owl King Richard, she wrote, "..mid-way through her life, on the way back from a ZooMobile presentation, “he” laid an egg. Her drag career over, Richie regularly laid unfertile eggs..." DRAG career!! Are you kidding me?! To me, making a remark like that is completely disrespectful. There has been alot of horrible statements come out of this place, but this is the worst. Its just awful and heartbreaking to the memory of this lovely lady who brought decades of joy to Zoo visitors. But, that seems to be how the San Francisco Zoo rolls under this management.
