Hey jeans
Santiago zoo in the news
http://www.tribunadeloscabos.com.mx/newpage/index.cfm?op=por...
Cabe recordar que en días pasados el coordinador del parque zoológico, ingeniero zootecnista, Juan Carlos González, alertó a la población sobre una
persona extranjera de nombre Sherlyn de quien aseguró desde hace doce años ha estado lucrando con los animales del zoológico, al pedir donativos a
empresarios y a la sociedad en general en beneficio de las especies que se encuentran en cautiverio, recursos dijo, que no han llegado al parque, y
exhortó a la sociedad a no caer en engaños y si alguien quiere ayudar al mantenimiento de los animales en cautiverio que lo haga a través del gobierno
municipal.
A well informed Baja California traveler is a smart Baja California traveler!

Here's the Babelfish translation:
http://www.tribunadeloscabos.com.mx/newpage/index.cfm?op=por...
It is possible to remember that in last days the coordinator of the zoological park, engineer zootecnista, Juan Carlos González, alerted to the
population on a foreign person of Sherlyn name that assured twelve years ago has been obtaining with the animals from the zoological one, when asking
donativos industralists and to the society in general in benefit of the species which they are in captivity, resources said, that they have not
arrived at the park, and exhorted the society not to fall in deceits and if somebody wants to help the maintenance of the animals in captivity that
does it through the municipal government.

Thanks for the link
I am aware of this....was on the phone earlier today concerning it.
Ezequiel has been very helpful with his articles. The woman he speaks of "Sherlyn" (he does have her name wrong, though) is the woman who I
originally tried to work with. She is now causing problems....I was told she had to be escorted off the zoo property when our surgeons were there.
We are not raising any funds right now. The Director of Ecology that Ezequiel mentions, whose name is Raul, is in the process of establishing a
foundation, similar to what has been set up to help the turtles.
The more press the zoo gets, the better. They need to establish some accountability.
I need to post an update on the Santiago Zoo blog....a cub died of pnuemonia last week. I'll post more about this article too, when I get more information...I should get to it
this weekend.
*Edited this morning to say that the donated amount stated was mistaken. It should have read 14 mil pesos, not 140 mil pesos.
