[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I *think* the same people also own Leesburg Animal Park, which, though a bit better than RZ, also looked worrisome to me upon a visit last year.  Maybe someone else can confirm that it is indeed the same people.

I have also heard that the Cacoctin Zoo is terrible.  :(

I just hate "small" zoos [b]because there is little to no oversight and there usually are not enough resources to go around, and corners start getting cut,[/b] and it is the animals who suffer.  Leave the zookeeping to the real zoos and get out of this business of keeping exotic animals in small litlte cages.

Go to Frying Pan Park if you want your kids to see animals.  Those are domesticated farm animals and they are treated decently.  It's not like exotic animals crammed in in appropriate environments just for the sake of us humans ogling them.  So sad.  [/quote]

Oooooh, I would [i]LOVE[/i] to see some of your research on this statement. I have heard the opposite, that the small zoos are continually hounded by vets and inspections, as they generate lots of tax revenue for their districts. [/quote]

PETA.org .... now there's a credible source! Next you'll throw some Fox News story at me. [/quote]

Please cite your source for believing that " small zoos are continually hounded by vets and inspections, as they generate lots of tax revenue for their districts."[/quote]
