In the editor: As a five-year employee of the Great Los Angeles Zoo Assnn. From 1994 to 1999, I watched dangerous breakdown of Los Angeles Zoo and 501 (c) (3) Heartbreak Support and Deja Vu (“Inside the messy $ 50-million breakup,” July 1).
In 1995The long-termed zoo of loss of accreditation for antiquated exhibits, animal deaths and infrastructure damage. The tight relationship between La Zoo and Glaza is as old as the zoo itself. It is an imperfect state, but in the next 10 years, two organizations gather to make a master’s plan refigurorated la zoo becomes a dearest civic treasure showing our great culture in the city.
Knowing this success requires a great job to revise the Philanthropic community, which has been tested in the last decades. If there is no support organization, the city is accountable for the current challenges of La Zoo.
Probably the largest character of La Zoo is a public zoo that claims cheap – less than half the price of San Diego Zoo – to give access to the more audience. A city class in the world is like Los Angeles, with its unique wealth, is worthy of a kind of world class that can teach us about ourselves as part of animals.

In the editor: Los Angeles City officials think that they have $ 50 million collected by Glaza. Deputy City Atty. Steven’s son admits that those who contributed to Glaza were genuinely donated to the city.
What is a general phrase – to keep it polite – baloney. I donated for years and had no time I thought I was giving money to LA this for zoo only. Suggesting if not to be funny.
