0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 1>New York City, America's highest number of coronavirus cases, had

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>one high profile patient that caused the media sensation. Nadia,

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>a tiger who resides at the Bronx Zoo, was the

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>first known case of human to animal coronavirus transmission. The

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>New York City health departments investigating, but they think that

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 1>the zookeeper infected her. The good news is that Natia

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the tigers doing better. She's expected to make a full recovery,

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>which is a good thing. Many zoos want to make

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>a full recovery too, because the shutdowns causing problems. California's

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Oakland Zoo is having a hard time scraping together money

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to keep the animals fed. Other zoos are in the

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.919
<v Speaker 1>same predicament because they all rely on visitor fees and

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>donations for their food budgets. But that's not the only problem.

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>According to the Los Angeles Times, the animals are unhappy

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>because of the shutdown. It turns out that, except for

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the bald eagles, the zoo animals are word. Zoo keepers

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>say that most of the animals seem to miss the

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>people who come to stare at him. Zoo keepers say

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.559
<v Speaker 1>contact with human beings stimulates the animals. They're just looking

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>at food. What were we talking about here? So I

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.679
<v Speaker 1>guess that humans are not the evil oppressors the poor

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 1>captive animals. After all, we make their lives meaningful and

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>interesting because they think they can eat us, the animal

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>rights wackos. I'm not gonna like this one bit if

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>they figure it out.
