While the SF city council bickers over Event Center planning expenditures, zoo animals are living in the lap of luxury on taxpayer’s subsidies

Okay, I know you are tired of hearing about the monkey crappers at the zoo. But doesn’t anyone find it ironic that our city council (four of which approved the zoo’s subsidies) are now pissing and moaning about spending money on an Events Center plan? Or that Huether bought snowgates without their approval (even though a majority of the public thinks we should experiment with them) and a couple of disgruntled (lazy ass) city employees think we should not.

Just look at what your taxdollars have bought;

Whealy said the $3.1 million* “Rare Rhinos of Africa” exhibit that opened this summer was designed with new features to support breeding and care of rhinos. A sponge floor covering protects the rhinos’ hooves, and spacious birthing stalls and heated floors provide extra comfort.

Why stop there? Maybe we should hire the Rhinos someone to wipe their asses after they take a shit to. What’s a couple of million to a city that has a crumbling infrastructure? We really have to ask ourselves. Should we be removing snow properly from our streets with tax dollars or buying heated floors and events centers?

*(not all of this money came from SF taxpayers – some of it was raised privately or through grants)
