If nothing else, the local media here is giving you all some free air time by putting some of your group members on TV day after day.

Do you want them to open up the doors of the zoo and let all the animals loose? Some animals died. Yes, it's a tragedy, but that's why there's an investigation going on. Letting them run free in the wild again is not going to save them and one person at the zoo cannot take the blame! Dave Sypniewski Dear Mr. Sypniewski, PETA certainly does not suggest that zoo animals be released to the wild. To do such a thing would be cruel and pointless. Zoos need to stop breeding animals and capturing animals from the wild and reinvent themselves to become sanctuaries, providing much needed homes to exotic animals rescued from circuses, shoddy roadside zoos, and private homes keeping them as "pets."
