I am new to the area as well, but I would like to see the zoo stay open due to the fact that zoo's are a great place to learn. After all since I was a child I've dedicated my life to the well being of animals and to protect them from becoming endangered. I started doing this after my first time to a zoo.
As I am new to the area I do not know if this zoo is dedicated to rescue of exotic animals or if they are a for-profit zoo. If they are for-profit I do not understand why we would donate to keep them open as they have no business keeping animals in those conditions just for people to see them. If they are soley a rescue organization, and I believe they are not as she stated "many of the animals were born here", then I stand corrected.
