It was an attempted “gotcha”, that’s my guess. They will ask HRC the same question and she will unveil her massive government program to save gorillas, provide nannies to keep track of kids at the zoo, and attacking zoos for imprisoning innocent animals.
Her last cases were some dogs not allowed in public parks in Appleton Wisconsin, and the nesting Cormorant being killed by U.S. fish and game sharpshooters on the Columbia River Basin and tributaries.
Her insights tastefully paint a picture of her clients that is interesting sometimes. Annoying at others.
I guarantee you she will be filing a suit or doing supporting research and legal work on this case. Zoos are a real dinner bell. She is really familiar with the laws and acts regarding large zoos, down to the small roadside petting zoo. She has brought action to them all on behalf of a client or client group.
