It'd be really great if every zoo could be AZA accredited. I've seen a lot of zoos without any accreditation and they are really problematic. The ZAA provides a way for a lot of smaller zoos to improve their standards of care without the expense of the AZA (it costs money to join and stay accredited).

It's interesting because the numerous posts about breweries and bars don't cause people to rant and rave about the dangers of alcohol.

If you (or anyone else) has issues with how the zoo operates, then I strongly recommend reaching out to the zoo politely and professionally to voice your concerns. Not just the RVA zoo, any of them.

Zoos do phenomenal conservation and education work around the world, and are filled with hard-working, extremely dedicated individuals. I'm sure any of those people would be thrilled to tell you how they provide the best care possible for the animals that they love.

Took my 2010 Ford Escape to Fritz's in The Fan for a tuneup, new sway bar, and tire rotation. Price was reasonable and they were finished the same day. I'll probably go back to them next time

Reply to Rollout of VCU-branded beer paused after concerns from university community, family of Adam Oakes by woodubahoo

The article I read from a couple days ago made it clear that the issue was putting VCU brand on alcohol products is against policy, and the committee of staff and professors did not vote in favor of this beer. And yet it was made anyway. Obviously, the death of the student was tragic, but my impression was that was not the sole reason for denying the VCU branded product.
