If the city does not want the zoo, then let us close as professionals. Give us the funds to at least carry out through winter, stream valley vet Collrin said. I can t move Zebras out in the middle of winter, I can t put monkeys on a plane and send them off to Winnipeg, it s not reality.

Collrin, who has been living and working on the property for the last forty years, said the zoo is like a living a museum for visitors. Tourism is a large industry in New Brunswick, stream valley vet and the province has many cultural destinations to attract tourists.
These things are all funded by provincial stream valley vet governments, or municipalities, and they ll spend millions or billions of dollars to protect the works of man, but not animals, stream valley vet Collrin said.
