Summary
The L.A. Zoo is under fire after a damning grand jury report exposes crumbling infrastructure, plummeting memberships, and a broken funding model — while still earning praise for its animal care and education. Membership dropped 23% in a year, exhibits are neglected, and its key funder, GLAZA, is now in litigation. Yet, the zoo remains resilient, and city leaders say they’re ready to tackle the challenges head-on. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
