Speaker 1: New York City, America's highest number of coronavirus cases, had
Speaker 1: one high profile patient that caused the media sensation. Nadia,
Speaker 1: a tiger who resides at the Bronx Zoo, was the
Speaker 1: first known case of human to animal coronavirus transmission. The
Speaker 1: New York City health departments investigating, but they think that
Speaker 1: the zookeeper infected her. The good news is that Natia
Speaker 1: the tigers doing better. She's expected to make a full recovery,
Speaker 1: which is a good thing. Many zoos want to make
Speaker 1: a full recovery too, because the shutdowns causing problems. California's
Speaker 1: Oakland Zoo is having a hard time scraping together money
Speaker 1: to keep the animals fed. Other zoos are in the
Speaker 1: same predicament because they all rely on visitor fees and
Speaker 1: donations for their food budgets. But that's not the only problem.
Speaker 1: According to the Los Angeles Times, the animals are unhappy
Speaker 1: because of the shutdown. It turns out that, except for
Speaker 1: the bald eagles, the zoo animals are word. Zoo keepers
Speaker 1: say that most of the animals seem to miss the
Speaker 1: people who come to stare at him. Zoo keepers say
Speaker 1: contact with human beings stimulates the animals. They're just looking
Speaker 1: at food. What were we talking about here? So I
Speaker 1: guess that humans are not the evil oppressors the poor
Speaker 1: captive animals. After all, we make their lives meaningful and
Speaker 1: interesting because they think they can eat us, the animal
Speaker 1: rights wackos. I'm not gonna like this one bit if
Speaker 1: they figure it out.
