Good luck, I'd be happy to send a letter as well. When I saw ferrets there
I got excited (neither of the Chicago zoos had ferts last I saw)...until I
heard them portray the animals as "wild" (they were actually telling people
this). I made the comment that those were domestic ferrets and their
response was--these are endangered animals that were captured from the wild.
They obviously confused black-footed with domestic (these were definitely
not black-footed ferrets...I've only seen those at the St. Louis Zoo). I
gave up and left, though there were several people there who backed me up.
I didn't follow through with anything, though the more stories I hear
(bloodsucking vampire ferrets, for example) the more I regret not acting on
it. I don't think you're nitpicking at all...I now plan on writing a letter
and making a phonecall about it.
Thanks for the info,
