There is a local group trying to bring back the Myrick Park
Zoo. I had the chance to talk with a
couple of the people behind the Facebook page “Bring back the old Myrick Park”. One of the first things they did was start a
gofundme.com page with a goal of 50 thousand dollars, so far they only have
raised 770$, Kind of disappointing that
that is all that has been raised. There
are over 6400 members on their Facebook and that number is growing every day. I have heard from a few unnamed sources that
the Zoo will be brought back, I have heard from others that there is no way
that the Zoo would ever be brought back because the cost would be too great at
a cost of over a million dollars per year. If you recall 2006 and the grand plans for a
new zoo to bring in Wisconsin based animals and find new homes for the existing
animals, the monkeys, prairie dogs, bear, and caged deer all got new homes, in
fact I think the monkeys got jobs in the
government but I am not sure. What do
you think they should do?
