What a sound and articulated argument to discredit my point.

BR has immense infrastructure issues. Even if the money is donated, couldn't that money also be raised for a more pressing issue?

It's wasteful spending to move something like that when they could easy finish the restoration, and put the other proposed park in another location.

I've yet to see anything in the plan where the new zoo would be the central fixture in a greater commercial venture. Until that is done, then keep it where it is. Upgrade the vet facilities, put in an elephant enclosure that meets current standards, and refurbish the last remaining chainlink fence exhibits.

I completely agree. I oppose this move strictly on monetary grounds. It's a waste of funds. If it dies, it dies.

The people that are donating money for a new zoo are donating the money for a new zoo. They aren't donating piles of money for our shithead mayor and her crooks to spend elsewhere.
