The exhibit will house the zoo’s 12-strong pack of sea lions
Sea lion exhibit for Fresno Chaffee Zoo
Fresno Chaffee Zoo in California is to build a new US$10.5m (£6.8m, 7.7m) sea lion exhibit. The new 12ft-deep (3.6m) pool will be twice as deep as the existing one and contain eight times as much water. Called Coastal California Sea Lion Enclosure, the exhibit will boast 12 sea lions and harbour seals and visitors will be able to see the animals through an under- water viewing area as well as on land. The attraction will be the zoo’s fi rst com-
pletely new exhibit and will be paid for by Measure Z. Measure Z, according to The Fresno County Zoo Authority – the public agency responsible for the administration of it – is the unique transactions and use
tax (sales tax) which is collected through- out Fresno County for the support of the Chaffee Zoo. The sales tax, at the rate of 0.1 per cent, is collected by retailers and sent to the State Board of Equalisation, which then deducts its administrative fee and forwards the remaining revenue (about US$10m, £6.5m, 7.2m) per year) to the Zoo Authority. The exhibit is expected to open in 2011. According to Scot Barton, director of
Fresno Chaffee Zoo, The sea lion enclo- sure will be the fi rst of fi ve new large attractions planned for the site. The four others are currently awaiting a completed environment impact report.
Noah’s Ark claims ‘grossly unfair’
North Somerset Council (NSC) has ruled that allegations of animal cruelty made against Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm near Bristol, UK are “grossly unfair”. Inspectors from the council, which licenses the attraction, and two zoo inspectors carried out interviews with the proprietor and staff members as part of the probe into the claims. Zoo records were also examined and ani- mal enclosures inspected after the Captive Animal Protection Society (CAPS) accused Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm of “serious animal welfare issues”. NSC’s executive member, Peter
Bryant, said that animals at the attrac- tion are “generally well cared for by experienced and dedicated people.”
