Save Catoctin Zoo !!
Stop the "Possession of Dangerous or Wild Animals" Bill from being passed, save the animals and preserve the Catoctin Zoo, a vital part of our community.
Why is this important?
The "Possession of Dangerous or Wild Animals" bill would trump the certifications that Catoctin Zoo has attained and maintained over its 50+ year existence. We would be unable to contribute to the critical breeding efforts of endangered Snow Leopards, Amur Leopards, Jaguars, Tigers, Lions, Ochreata Macaques, Squirrel Monkeys, Patas Monkeys, Sun Bears, Foosa, Tamarins, or any other monkeys, lemurs or marmosets. Such a ban would force us to STOP educating and spreading conservation to tens of thousands of school children with hands on learning tools – experiences that lead to lasting connections with animals. Deadline Wednesday Feb 26th. More info at cwpzoo.com.
