Florida Shopping Center Vows to Ban Animal Exhibitors

January 2002

PETA was notified that The Zoo had set up at Coralwood Shopping Center in Cape Coral, Florida. We immediately faxed a letter to officials of the company that manages the property, alerting them to the cruelty associated with this tawdry display and asking that they reconsider contracting with animal exhibitors in the future. We received a call back soon after, notifying us that in order to avoid the sort of negative attention that this exhibit has brought to the shopping center, they have vowed never to contract with this or any other animal exhibitor again.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
