Sould Zoos Make Their Daily Reports Public

Should zoos make their daily reports public

Should they not make them public

How about to the GAO, animal rights groups (other than PETA, whose practices are suspect) and to objective ecologists well versed in animal behavior.

Thank you. I didn't think of that. Many people don't know that Snowflake the albino gorilla who died not too long ago was bred with his daughters to try and get another albino! Didn't work, but you can bet they are breeding those offspring.

The public should be made aware of their daily reports. I strongly agree with that option.

It is the public who pays for the care of these animals in captivity. What was so sad is when they had Snowflake and albino gorilla, now dead, breed with his daughters to try and get another albino. It didn't work, but what about these babies? Genetically they are damaged. This is what goes on that the public does not know about.

He would make that face because the sun hurt his eyes. He died of skin cancer.

Why did they have him do his daughters ? Wouldnt the risk of recessive traits be counter productive ? If I was in the business I would breed for the breed not the looks. Would probably breed a super smart, strong animal that would kick our but....
