I have been very upset because they may have to close down my local zoo forever... they don't think they can go on past November.

This is the only place locally where I ever really feel at peace & I visit the zoo as often as I can. Even though I am a paid member, I still pay the entrance fee when I visit, & send in gifts, because I'm trying in some small way to support the animals. But my small contributions on my limited budget cannot begin to make up the $200,000 they say they need if they're going to continue. If it closes I will be devastated. I always tell people about this zoo.. it is the third oldest zoo in the entire nation & it's small, easy to walk around, & is set in a pretty wooded area with lots of gardens that people have donated & maintain themselves. It's very much a community zoo. I was just looking into adopting one of the zoo animals & was trying to decide which one, when I heard the news that they will have to close in November if they dont' get enough backing.
This would mean having to re-home the animals, which would be traumatic for them. They have some creatures they've rescued, such as a little wild duck with stunted wings, who hangs out in the swan enclosure. I would never see her again, or the wolves, or the Sandhill Cranes who always try to steal my watch.
I am very sad about this.
