My Petition - San Francisco Zoo Needs A Big Fix, Before Pandas!

Another forum for awareness, I have started a Petition.  It had to be done.  I am sick of reading preposterous statements by representatives of Zoo management.  The disregard for truth of the matter is sickening.  

Someone has got to help us Save Our Zoo from this insanity, or we won't have a Zoo in the near future.

Please, sign, comment and share my Petition!  Thanks!

Petition Text:

San Francisco Zoo Needs A Big Fix, Before Pandas!

Our San Francisco Zoo has been in the news this past week.  News of Animal Welfare and Safety concerns, Employee vs Management Turmoil, and Mayor London Breed securing Giant Pandas for our SFZoo.

I have been documenting all the Zoo issues I know of, via my Zoo related blog ( iamnotananteater.blogspot.com ) for over thirteen years.  I have shared my observations and upset with all managing entities, including the SF Zoological Society and the SF Recreation and Park Dept, both who are responsible for the checks and balances of what SFZoo Director Tanya Peterson does there.  Not one person takes any issues put forth by myself, or staff, seriously.  They give have allowed Peterson's mismanagement for over fifiteen years.  

Will anyone stop this insane cycle and help those of us who care, Save Our San Francisco Zoo?  

There is a long Fix List and it should be tended to before anything happens in regards to Pandas arriving in San Francisco!

There is reported initial costs for the Panda venture of $25 million, and that's just to build enclosures.  Enclosures plural, is obscene to me.  

At the top of the Fix List, should be a complete make-over of the Orangutan enclosure.  I have documented the plight of these poor Souls, at the hands of Director Peterson's cruelty in not providing them with a proper home.  They were kept in caged tubes for eight months, then given access to a sixty year old enclosure, where they will sadly remain for life, if something isn't done. This needs to be remedied before Pandas get not one, but two homes!?  What needs to happen is scrapping the $4 million temporary home for Pandas and using that for a new Orangutan home.  Building just one permanent enclosure for the Pandas, before they get here.  Anything else is misuse of funds and mismanagement.

There are other Fixes, including many Animal Needs, but there is also the Fix that needs to happen to prevent further mismanagement and ruin to our San Francisco Zoo.  That is replacing Director Tanya Peterson and examination of the neglect in management duties by the San Francisco Zoological Society Board of Directors and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.  

Our Zoo is owned by the City of San Francisco, and it's time the Mayor takes an interest in what's going on there.  Especially now when she wants Giant Pandas to be a success for Our City.
