The Management Entity for Our Zoo is the SF Zoological Society. They do not want to hear from the public and provide no way to contact them.
Thank you so much for posting these birthdays. It's a crime in itself that the zoo doesnt think this is important. It's important to the visitors, the memory of the animal, something to learn from. It's disrespectful to not have these milestones visited. I don't think the zoo cares that the public loves this. Even if they looked on this at a business standpoint, they are lacking in creativity and bringing in the visitors. They should have birthdays at least celebrated once a month. By this list alone, they could celebrate all of the animals for the month on possibly the first Saturday of the month? Thank you for your tireless efforts on bringing this wonderful info to us and showing you love for the wonderful animals at the sf zoo.
ReplyDelete@Lee- Thank you for your comment. Your welcome. I know there are others who feel the same way about celebrating the Animals as we do. I wish others were as vocal ;) Regardless, the Zoo still wouldn't do things geared toward what the Visitors actually like. AND yes they could do a monthly celebration. In fact I suggested this to the Zoo Director Tanya Peterson over three years ago now. Put up signs at the Birthday Friends enclosure that says, my bday is... And then have a fun celebration once a month. They can't even do that. I just don't get it. Its disrepectful, but then again we have a Director who makes off color remarks when refering to an Animal that's passed. Its also uncreative, and lazy. Don't they say they do Enrichment daily? So, what's the problem celebrating an Animal who dedicates its life to the Zoo?
