Even if the "City of Detroit" has so mismanaged the Zoo that it has "put" 5M into it, its their mismanagementand worse that made it necessary........and when you consider the hundreds of millions Detroit the shithole already costs society (not to mention its cross-border criminals), the Zoo should be siezed for safekeeping by civilization.
It is a lie to state that "Detroit" subsidizes the Zoo. Society subsidizes Detroit to the degree that we are becoming aware that NOLA is or hopefully "was". Detroit is the Zoo's problem, not the other way around! I live here, too, about 3 miles from the Zoo, and the things I see and hear from "Detroiters" mouths about this is incredible!.....same ole same ole gimme mo gimme mo
There you go again with the allegation that the Zoo is mis-managed. You're the only one who thinks that. Why do you refuse to accept that we have a good Zoo?

Some day you'll have to explain how the City "costs society hundreds of millions." And, I wish you'd get this through your skull, no one will seize the Zoo because NO ONE WANTS TO PAY FOR IT. Not Oakland County, not the State of Michigan, certainly not anyone in Macomb. We're left with either City of Detroit funding (which you seem to deny, which is weird) or hope that a non-profit can raise the $21 million a year it costs to run it.
