# * Why Would We?

Something the San Francisco Zoo has obviously failed to ask themselves, in making their reasoning believable.

Why would we make a call with false information, AND make it while standing there in the midst, wearing party hats!??? It was Jahari's (Lion) Birthday coming up, so I made party hats featuring the Cats getting Birthday Party stuff from past celebrations, before Curator Corinne MacDonald took away their fun. Photo taken in Lion House before heading over to Bears, 2.5.11.

It has to be obvious to anyone who has read the documentation on this blog that someone isn't being truthful.

*Lent Primate Department Videos for the Animals to watch. I offered to loan in rotation my Disney Collection. Never received the first two back. Its been over a year.
*Worked at Photo Booth, just to be working on Zoo grounds.
*Got Guard Card after being there so often and seeing horrible harassing of the Animals. I never wanted to be a Security Guard, but I was unemployed and felt I may have to, in order to protect the animals, since the Guards working there weren't. Inquired about being part of Security, but after new Company was hired, felt secure they were doing a good job.
