Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 - Michele Simon Colleen Patrick-Goudreau Thursday, December 02, 2004 9:36 AM FW: SF Zoo - Factory Farm Exhibit Colleen, Can you please do me a favor and forward this message to SFBayVeg? I don't have that email handy and I think someone on that list might want to help this person out. You can keep my message in tact, as long as folks contact Carlos directly and not me! Thanks!

I think SF might be a much bettercity inwhich to try, especially since our Mayor seems interested in being "greener"than theGreen Party. I also think that the SF Zoo, which has never done too wellfinancially, coulduse some spark that might bring more patrons.I know that animal rights organizations have had some run ins with the Zoo, so Ithink thatthe manner in which the Zoo is approached about this should be well thought out.I'd appreciate your comments and would like to know if your organization would support this idea. I do not mean financial support, but rather, support the idea so we can go to the Zoo and state that we have backing of several animal rights, vegetarian, and health organizations.Thank you,Carlos Abela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
