It’s gross and sad.

Franklin Park Zoo is pretty awesome! I will say that I did enjoy York’s Wild Kingdom with my wife and daughter about 5-6 years ago. I’m guessing that the nostalgia helped with that.

I was just kidding, I still live here and actually work in that industry lol

Course is a good description haha, but he really loves those animals.

Oh thanks a lot! I do have an Etsy, a lot of my art is fantasy based. https://www.etsy.com/shop/LostThicket

I recently set up a small gallery site here: https://artbysarahsmith.carrd.co/

I went once as a kid and loved it. Went again a few years ago and was so depressed to see how the animals are being mistreated. I can’t imagine it’s gotten any better. Please find somewhere else to support.

There are 23 million acres in Maine of which 90% is wooded. In other words (as Nike would say) - just do it.

That’s spectacular. I thought I was looking at a photo at first . Do you sell your art ? I have a small collection of Maine artists hanging in our house . Any links or galleries would be appreciated. Thank you

Oh! To follow up, have you ever taken her on a whale watch?? There are some great ones around, I went out of Kennebunkport recently and it was phenomenal. Seeing a whale in it's natural habitat beats a zoo any day.

They should pass it. Why should we be drilling pointless holes in our bumpers to display state mandated material. They don’t pay the 40k plus for the vehicle.

Thanks!

Nice!

Revenue collectors gotta collect revenue

Easy Brand Or West?

Even as a kid it was very clear to me that the animals are in terrible conditions. I begged my mom to take me there once and then never wanted to go again. It's really sad and if your child is perceptive, they will notice it. Not a good time.

It’s fun. Been going there for generations and used to take my grandkids there when they were young every year, then you’ve got the beach right there!

It's 100% pulverized bone. All that's left after 2 hours at 1500⁰ is bone and metal implants.

Been going to Dew for well over a decade. I’ve never heard nor would affirm a rumor the animals there were unhappy/treated poorly. It’s a great place. The owner can come across a little coarse but he definitely cares about those animals more than anything.

York has always been underwhelming.

Where is that??

I can only imagine the absolute shit storm that would arise for someone proposing tidal power.

It will “ruin” fishing industry, it will forever destroy our little coastal town. “Don’t use our town for your profit” , it will destroy our ocean habitat and so on and so on.

Yea I bet like OP wrote, CMP is utterly terrified of tidal power.

Looks like someone has gone to therapy. 👍

Will do.

Duck pond so dirty you could almost walk on the water. Goats in the petting area with untrimmed hooves to the point a few couldn’t walk properly. The tiger had a bunch of bald spots. Papier-mâché fake rocks the were crumbling apart. The only part that was ok was the butterfly enclosure.

This was a few years back, but I can’t imagine it’s improved.
