The Zoo may not be the San Diego Zoo, but if people don't visit the Zoo, then they will not have the funds necessary to give the animals the proper nutrition and living quarters. Puerto Rico needs a Zoo to educate people about animals as well as instill a desire to help them in captivity as well as the wild.... more
