## Resource

Fresno Chaffee Zoo plans to demolish its iconic 38-year-old Tropical Rainforest Aviary, citing outdated safety standards — but locals are rallying against the decision, calling it a beloved family landmark worth preserving. A former volunteer has launched a petition arguing the move violates Measure Z, urging community members to sign and attend a crucial board meeting this Wednesday to save the aviary. Birds will be relocated, and the zoo remains silent on the controversy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
