Dallas councilmembers show interest in placing the Dallas Zoo in private hands
Dallas Zoo
DALLAS — The Dallas Zoo might get new parents after the city council seemed interested on Thursday to pass it into the hands of the zoological society. If it happens, the city would still own the zoo and its facilities, but the zoological society would operate and fund the zoo, the DMN reports.
Those in agreement hope to push a deal through by fall.

Delicious is right. No one will be able to feed the animals and we will get a giant big cat, big bear, cold storage locker and some funny meat getting sold out the back of trucks in Oak Cliff.

This is the same city council that wants to build a hotel where no real hotel company would go. I think they've all lost their minds.
