I have the answer. Move the zoo to Cortana mall.
Two birds, one stone.

Actually it's a pretty nice zoo for a mid-sized city.

North BR residents think this is part of a sabatoging conspiracy to move the zoo to whiter pastures.

From WBRZ Facebook comments:

Kenneta Coverson:
Does anyone find it strange that all of these things keep happening in the last couple of years since so many people want to relocate the zoo??? It seems as if someone is purposely sabotaging things at the zoo...

What's ironic is the citizens of North BR make up around 5% of the zoos visitors.

They don't give a shite about the zoo

They only care about something when white people want to "take it from them."

I'd love to ask this woman how long she's been a zoo member.

An elephant died so they relocated the remaining one somewhere else. You're not supposed to have a single elephant. I think there are plans to replace them.

Yea no lions.

They do have bears. Actually have some rare bears.

No crocs but they do have gators.

Not full sized but they have pigmy hippos. I'm not a zoo connoisseur but I can't imagine full size hippos being common with a zoo of BR's size.

The place is a dump and poorly ran by BREC. Audubon needs to take over and build a new zoo off River Road toward LSU.


False. When is the last time you have been there? It's very much improved from the way it looked 10-15 years ago.

Such a shame.

Wife and I had precious little money as newlyweds, 1979, but we could afford and enjoy an afternoon at the zoo
