The zoo receives about $7 million a year from the state, which makes up about 35 percent of their operating budget. And when Gov. Tim Pawlenty and state lawmakers are trying to cut $5.27 billion from the budget, anything could be on the chopping block.
Just a little piece of advice for the zoo: It might be more effective to bring cute cuddly animals instead of the nasty creatures many people could live without. Save the cockroaches or save the baby monkey? When lawmakers are so willing to slash school budgets during this economic crisis, cockroaches might be put on the back burner.
