They would have at least had a fighting chance.
They could have opened a hole in the fence and let them roam until the flood was over. They could have found their own high ground and probably would have survived......

Sort of like Vietnam.
“We had to destroy the village to save it”.
Typical ‘bureaucratic’ logic (or lack of).
Probably but I reckon it was just “too much trouble”.
There’s a bison farm near here and having relied on humans for so long, they’re not like their potentially dangerous “wild” kin at all.
They’re pretty much just big, fat lazy ol’ glorified cows.
The zoo will no doubt replace them cheaply and that will be that.
I looked up their website:
http://www.zooamerica.com/index.php
Get this:
:Do you walk or drive through the zoo?
:ZooAmerica is an 11-acre walk thru Wildlife Park.
The whole walk takes an *hour* so it’s not like they had hundreds of acres of hard-to-find critters in luxurious native habits or anything.
Their “zoo” is roughly the size of my dad’s planted deer field.
I can stand up by the cabin and see every inch of it, from one end to the other.
It sounds as though they had several small “sections” that were little more than pens.
To me, this makes it worse.
There were no “exotic” animals such as tropical birds; just native American wildlife in pens.
If I weren’t already boycotting Hershey for moving a lot of their production to Mexico, I would do so, now.
