Elephant carwash raises zoo cash

Boston’s zoo is on the verge of closing due to funding and their solution is to kill the animals.

This is the way a capitalist zoo or one with managers that aren't communist keeps above water. In Massachusetts they are threatening to euthanize hundreds of the animals because the government won't increase and has cut their budget.

But are they wearing bikinis?
Here I thought this was raising money BY washing elephants.
I could see where kids would think that cool.

It’ll be about an hour before they get a letter form PETA complaining that this is cruel somehow.
