BIG NEWS for London, Ontario!
UPDATE - January 23, 2012: The London, ON Community Services Committee meeting was held where the
Storybook Gardens updates on the zoo facility was discussed and voted upon. The vote was 4 - 1 in favour of
sending the seals and the other wild animals to new homes. The next step for the issue is the upcoming City
Council meeting on January 31, 2012.
Storybook Gardens, a local
family park, is sending their harbour seals and other wild animals to
sanctuaries
or bigger zoo facilities by the late spring! These new homes are
great, with enriched habitats that will provide
excellent care, like the
amazing new habitat at the St. Louis Zoo who is taking in the harbour seals.
A great deal of thanks goes
to our friends at Zoocheck Canada for their awesome work, which has consisted
of
many, many long hours and a ton of contacts to find new homes and funding to
transport the animals - and it's
not over until the animals are in their new
homes!
We have been so fortunate to
work with them and Storybook Gardens at our local level with a fantastic group
of volunteers to re-home these
amazing creatures.
This is the official press
release from City Hall and here is an article
published by the London Free Press.
We
are so very excited for the new opportunities and wish them
all the best in their new homes!
