For years, many of us have worried about repeated incidents at the San Francisco Zoo and the safety of the animals who live there. Right now, the city faces a choice:
Will millions be spent on acquiring new animals and maintaining aging enclosures that risk more suffering? Or will San Francisco choose a different path—one that lets people learn about wildlife without adding to their pain?
Join us TODAY to talk about what’s happening behind the gates and what we can do—together—to create a safer, more compassionate future for people and animals.
