Nobody goes to the zoo anymore.
Memberships are down. Tickets are down.
The gift shop, concession stands, and even the choo choo train are down.
Hiring freezes, layoffs.
Selling off the animals that are expensive to maintain.
And lots of publicity stunts.
The latest had the director of the zoo marrying two last gorillas together.
That one didn’t go too well.
The gorillas never quite got used to being around humans.
And on top of that, they were two male gorillas, and the local churches protested.
Lots of support on Facebook from LGBT groups, but that doesn’t pay the bills.
