AZH : Message: RE: [SPAM]: [AZH] Lincoln Park Zoo animal poisoning

Hi Eualia!

Here's the part of the article you might want to see:

A two-month outside investigation of animal deaths at Lincoln Park Zoo found the zoo generally acted appropriately but revealed troubling, previously unpublicized circumstances in the May deaths of three langur monkeys and Wankie the elephant.

The report by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association said the monkeys apparently were poisoned by leaves from a yew shrub--known to be toxic to primates--growing just outside the exhibit. Zoo director Kevin Bell said it was "a serious oversight" that keepers did not conduct a veterinary review of all plants in the area.

How are you?

Asunto: [SPAM]: [AZH] Lincoln Park Zoo animal poisoning

I assume everyone is aware of the recent problems at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo. The investigation into several animal deaths has pointed to, unfortunately, the toxicity of a common plant in the deaths of some animals.

Here is an article that says (too little) what's happening:
