1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: New York City, America's highest number of coronavirus cases, had

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: one high profile patient that caused the media sensation. Nadia,

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: a tiger who resides at the Bronx Zoo, was the

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: first known case of human to animal coronavirus transmission. The

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: New York City health departments investigating, but they think that

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: the zookeeper infected her. The good news is that Natia

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: the tigers doing better. She's expected to make a full recovery,

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: which is a good thing. Many zoos want to make

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: a full recovery too, because the shutdowns causing problems. California's

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Oakland Zoo is having a hard time scraping together money

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: to keep the animals fed. Other zoos are in the

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: same predicament because they all rely on visitor fees and

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: donations for their food budgets. But that's not the only problem.

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: According to the Los Angeles Times, the animals are unhappy

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: because of the shutdown. It turns out that, except for

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: the bald eagles, the zoo animals are word. Zoo keepers

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: say that most of the animals seem to miss the

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: people who come to stare at him. Zoo keepers say

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: contact with human beings stimulates the animals. They're just looking

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: at food. What were we talking about here? So I

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: guess that humans are not the evil oppressors the poor

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: captive animals. After all, we make their lives meaningful and

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: interesting because they think they can eat us, the animal

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: rights wackos. I'm not gonna like this one bit if

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: they figure it out.
