Hopefully the Attorney General will determine who ordered the sign put back up and charge that person with violating the Citizens Civil Rights.

If more than one person was involved in the decision, bring charges under RICO.

The only way this stuff will stop is if the wanta be tyrants get prison time.

Why go to a zoo if you can’t hunt. Last time I bagged a dozen penguins.

Many of Houston’s parks and properties are no longer managed by the city. They’ve been privatized to crony interests.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_First_Corporation
http://www.chron.com/default/article/Government-corporation-to-run-Houston-conventions-1617456.php

The city is handing over control of the George R. Brown Convention Center to a newly created government corporation, much as it did with the zoo nearly a decade ago.

City Council still will approve the annual budget of Houston First, a merger of the city’s Convention and Entertainment Facilities Department and the existing government corporation that runs the city-owned Hilton Americas. The mayor will appoint the board members.

The corporation will not have to come to the council to get expenses approved. The unionized work force of the city department will become private-sector employees of the corporation. The corporation is free to take chances by, for example, launching new trade shows without worrying that taxpayers are on the hook if the event is a bust.

Houston First will rent the GRB, Jones Hall and the Wortham Center from the city.

Ric Campo, who chairs the hotel corporation board and will similarly lead Houston First, said the merger not only combines marketing functions that could result in more convention business for the city, but it also creates a connection that could allow the profits from the Hilton to flow toward needed renovations of the city’s premier downtown arts venues...

The type of signs I ignore. If it’s public property, I’m going in. If it’s private property, then I don’t need to go there, especially to spend money.

Walker said in his September letter that the zoo’s signs were in violation of a state code because even though the zoo is privately owned, it sits on property owned by the City of Houston.

Houston Zoo spokeswoman Jackie Wallace said the signs were put back because the zoo is an educational institution that exempts if from being forced to allow firearms within its gates. Wallace said the zoo has an Education Department that employs 17 professional educators.

Residents may file complaints about unlawful gun restrictions by government entities to be forwarded to the state’s attorney general for potential fines. Local governments risk daily fines of up to $10,000, depending on the number of violations, if they fail to remove signage deemed illegal.

“handguns not permitted on zoo grounds.’
= = =
In English?

Why not Swahili, for the monkeys to read.

Or what ever Koko the Gorilla communicates with.

Zoo Lives Matter.

Those goofyass, commie lib signs banning guns have been very effective everywhere they've been displayed so far.

"handguns not permitted on zoo grounds."

Seems reasonable.
Except for the smallest animals handguns just aren't adequate for a humane kill.
