Not really understanding your need to know who they are and what they donate.

Zoos like BR survive off people donating to them. Don't you think it's safe to say that the big time donors to the zoo live in South BR?

Go read the study put forth by those pushing for a new zoo. Here is what they said:

quote:

“After the findings of the original feasibility study, we felt it was critical to do our due diligence and further explore whether it would be in the best interest of the Zoo to stay or to move,” said McKnight. “Even though the Zoo is publically funded on a very small level, there is no way a project of this magnitude could happen without the support of additional public funding, private donors and other business and philanthropic organizations. In any major initiative like this, and when you’re talking about this kind of money, it is BREC’s duty to the public to thoroughly research and explore all the possibilities and opportunities presented.”


So I'm asking has BREC got all the donors lined up, do they know where the financing is coming from, and have they done their research?
