The zoo also said they will "accept chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., but no more than four at a time."

[submitted w/o opinion] Based on an actual conversation last night, son #3 would eagerly donate guinea pigs in support of this. I will note here that he would have to buy them first.

Revolting. And proof that these animals don't belong in cages.

Zoos are an outdated entertainment concept. We used to show people in them, too. Circuses with live animals are equally cruel.

If you want to learn about animals, you can learn to help them without dragging them over here and putting them in cages.
