I would definitely not recommend supporting the Woodland Park zoo in any way. There have been numerous instances of animal abuse there and the zoo is being investigated by ALDF. (aldf.org)
no animal deserves to be held in captivity for our selfish entertainment or amusement! animals can be observed in their normal habitats much better through computer tech. no need for these anachronistic abuse parks anywhere.
teach your children compassion!
There are plenty of people who aren’t opposed to zoos on general principle, but do have problems with the corporation currently in charge at Woodland Park. The surrounding neighborhood managed to sink their massive parking garage project (that the city would have had to pay for.) Cf. http://saveourzoo.blogspot.com/
Haven’t been since they closed the noctural house.
