The money to run the zoo has always come from what we earn. There was probably a single digit percentage coming from the city, which went nowhere but to payroll below the senior staff. All of that money went to the payroll for our keepers. All the rest of the money from admissions, donations, fundraisers, concessions, gift shop, went to the rest of the operation. And if we didn’t have that, we didn’t plan it in the next year’s budget.
