SAVE OUR ZOO...
Many of you have seen or heard media reports hinting that Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo may close.
The truth is they don't have to close… Not if we can help it!
What's Happening:
With budgets in crisis at the state and local levels, our funding is in jeopardy. Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo relies on both the State of Connecticut and the City of Bridgeport for nearly one third of their funding.
If either one cuts the budget, the ability to keep their doors open will be in danger.
How we can help to save our Zoo:
* Telling your elected officials to SAVE YOUR ZOO. Tell them what the Zoo means to you and your family. Tell them to leave our funding alone.
* Call Governor Rell: 800-406-1527
* Call Mayor Finch: 203-576-7201
* Call your state representative: Click HERE to find your local representatives.
