It's been four days since news articles noted that the Zoo released a statement to Media that one Red Kangaroo and two Walleroos had been recently killed.
I've been deeply saddened by this loss and the event that caused these deaths. It hurts my Soul that their passing has been ignored.
I keep waiting for this type of statement to be posted by the Zoo to it's social media, but there has not been one word. They died eleven days ago.
'We are Sad to announce a horrific loss to Our Zoo Family...'
Why hasn't the Zoo acknowledged these Lives?
Additionally there are other questions.
I don't even know if this is a thing but, it would seem that there should be a protocol and maybe there is to report suspected wild animal trespassing. The Zoo made their statement last Friday, a week after the killings and three days after the first reported spotting if the Mountain Lion.
Coyotes are common in the City and have been spotted in the Zoo, but a Mountain Lion it seems should be reported and neighboring area warned to be alert when out. That's just my thought and curiosity.
Many more thoughts since this news about how the animals are housed at night. In addition to note about Coyote presence, the Zoo is on the route a Mountain Lion would take north to the City, where they have been spotted on the westside, so predator tresspassing should be a concern. It would seem that all the animals should be locked in at night, especially ones that occupy exhibits around the perimeter fence which would be the first point of access. Closest to the fencing would be the Farm, the Walkabout and the Cassowary.
So, that's another question in my mind. Are these animals locked in at night or are they left out? If they are left out, considering the obvious concern, what is the thought process for leaving them out after hours? Not being judgemental but definitely curious.
