Guess who's staying for dinner at the Zoo?
A few visitors from Milwaukee: three crocodiles and a 175-lb. turtle.
An 8-foot long African slender-snouted crocodile, a 5½-ft. West African dwarf crocodile and another 5½-ft crocodile of undeterminable species, came to the Zoo late yesterday and a 175-lb. alligator snapping turtle is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
The Zoo is providing temporary housing and care for the animals,which were taken into custody as part of an investigation by Milwaukee Police from a home and a warehouse in South Milwaukee last Thursday. Racine Zoo officials were called to assist in the identification and collection of approximately 250 snakes, crocodiles, turtles, alligators, and caimans.
Parents: Please keep your children out of the Zoo pond. Violators may be eaten...
ReplyDeleteI wish we'd pay as much attention to the welfare of poor children as we do to the proper care of critters.
ReplyDelete5:42 - Ditto!
ReplyDeleteLet's feed the children to the croc's.
ReplyDeleteHey - I've got a great idea - let's kill all the animals, tear down all the buildings and make the grounds low income housing. That would be a great use of lakefront property. And then let's build a wall around the grounds so we don't have to see them.
ReplyDeletewow thats the most ignorant thing i've ever heard. get a job.
ReplyDelete2:39 - It's called sarcasm. Have you heard of it? Or is that beyond your vocabulary!
ReplyDeletetemporary?? the racine zoo has been upgrading nicely, but they still need as many animals as they can get, they should keep them!!
