What Would Jane Goodall Think?

It's a gorgeous day on the westside.  Hope all the Zoo Friends are basking in the sun.  I just opened notepad, surrounded by a literal handful of posts, I'm hoping the sunshine will keep me calm and give me the ambition to finish something.

As I pick-up where I left off yesterday, a comment came through for my recent post, Orangutan/Panda Outrage Will Continue Indefinitely.

> "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its Animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.”

A quote never found in a speech by Gandhi, but the quote, no matter from whence it came, speaks to the way I view the world.  Substitute ‘nation’ for zoo, and ‘the cruelty of man’ with ‘the neglect by Ms. Peterson,’ and you have a summation of the SF Zoo of late.  What more can one say about this woman?  At what point will the city officials, city purse-keepers and a tax-paying public begin to demand change?

The Orangutans and other Animals don’t have a voice.  Thank you for being a voice for them.  What a dream it would be to get people to hear!!! <  

As I read this comment, a quote attributed to Gandhi that I've heard before, I decided to include it in a post.  I also thought I would add other quotes in similar vein.  Since the focus of my posts moving forward will be highlighting the plight of Our Orangutans life at Our Zoo, at the hands of Director Peterson, I first googled, "animal protection quotes jane goodall".  

Sometimes things just work out how they are supposed to.  Today is International Women's Day.  Isn't it perfect that this came up in that search?

I am reminded about a quote by Director Tanya Peterson that I copied from a news article to a post last fall...

Indeed.  What would Jane Goodall think, had she witnessed Our Precious Ollie and Amoi, living exclusively in caged tubes? 

Ollie is literally frowning as he watches the Chimpanzees in their yard roaming free without immediate confines.

As documented in that same recent post (linked at end), we can all see the "mockery" Zoo Director Peterson made of her Cruelty that was keeping Our Orangutans in caged tubes.  

We must all ask Tanya Peterson, Will you ever make a difference in the lives of Our Orangutans?  

Will there ever be "justice" for the damage Tanya Peterson has done to Ollie and Amoi?

I used to use (search) labels, but too often forget.  I started noting "Hot Topic" in title, but fell lax on that.  Now I'm just going to add labels, keywords, etc., here at the bottom with hashtags.  Does it help in searches, who knows.
