Audubon Zoo Feeds The Police To The Lions

The New Orleans zoo was once an embarrassment to the city, but with Audubon redevelopment it came to become a source of civic pride. But now it seems the folks at Audubon have decided to return to the business of embarrassing themselves again – as the zookeepers have gone woke.

Responding to persons from “members of our community and from persons outside of our community” the Audubon Institute abruptly cancelled their scheduled “Blue at the Zoo” event, which was intended to “promote and foster positive experiences” with the NOPD. Their press statement smells worse than anything that dropped out the backside of a pachyderm.

“The New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation and Audubon Nature Institute partnered to host “Blue at the Zoo” in an effort to promote and foster positive interactive experiences with our New Orleans Police Department. Audubon facilities have long been welcoming and safe spaces for the children, families and citizens of our community.

“Audubon Nature Institute heard feedback regarding the event from members of our community and from persons outside of our community, who feel this event could be unintentionally divisive rather than inclusive. Though that was never the intent, Audubon Nature Institute made the decision to cancel the event. Audubon will continue to work with the New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation to find ways to support the New Orleans Police Department.
 
“The Audubon Nature Institute understands and appreciates that the issue of ethical policing is at the forefront of our nation and our local community and that NOPD is a nationally recognized leader in law enforcement reform. Audubon stands firm in its support for holding law enforcement accountable for any and all unethical and unlawful behavior. Audubon also supports efforts that promote healing between law enforcement and the community. As such, working with the New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation, Audubon will be considering alternative ways to promote meaningful and impactful community engagement with the New Orleans Police Department.”

So Audubon just fed the NOPD to the lions.

Let’s evaluate and translate into plain language this media release worthy of the reptile house.

Paragraph #1: Audubon said they want to play a role in making nice with the police. Fine.

Paragraph #2: But they heard feedback (mean tweets) from locals (many Tulane students aren’t local, and the professional protest crowd represents virtually no one) and from people not from here (AKA Twitter hyenas) and thus don’t go to the zoo or give to the zoo but these leftist netizen jackals decided to make their voice heard. And unfortunately Audubon listened and amazingly enough bought what they were selling by conceding that an event being held to promote trust and engagement would somehow be divisive. 

Paragraph #3: The zoo embraced and promoted a one sided ACAB narrative without mentioning the dangers men and women in blue face every day trying to keep civilians safe in a city enduring spikes in violent crime.

And in an eel-like slippery move the Audubon Institute waited until after GiveNolaDay ended to release this statement. The Audubon Nature Institute raised almost $23,474 from 236 donors on Tuesday.

The Audubon Institute needs to immediately issue an apology to not just law enforcement for this unmistakable indictment of those who wear the badge but every victim of violent crime in Orleans Parish for having their suffering trivialized. That the Audubon Institute has the temerity to pretend that the only outrages being perpetrated in society are by law enforcement is a denial of reality. For there were no sentences of compassion in their weasel worded press release reserved for the victims of carjackings that have traumatized grandmothers and drive-by shootings that have claimed the lives of the very children their missive says they serve.

While their facility is a safe place for the aforementioned, the world outside their gates is anything but. In fact the safest mammals in Orleans Parish reside in either Audubon Place or Audubon Zoo.

BLM Releases Updated List of Demands


The Cultural Marxist Cult, Black Lives Matter, released their updated set of demands and is giving their fellow comrades and soft skull allies the opportunity to sign their name onto the new list at the BLM website. Their first of the new demands on the website states:
“We are joining Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Cori Bush, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, and others who are demanding Trump immediately be brought to justice for encouraging insurrection. Trump must also be banned from holding elected office in the future.”
The group also called for DJT to be permanently banned from “all digital media platforms,” arguing he uses the platforms “recklessly and irresponsibly to spread lies and disinformation.”

Turning their attention to Trump loyalists in Congress, they demand that all GOP lawmakers that “stoked Trump’s conspiracy theories and encouraged the white supremacists to take action to overturn the election” be expelled from Congress.  All of which goes to prove they're are not about Black Lives or civil rights at all, but highly funded leftist politics, which they deny. 

They continue to demand police departments across the country be defunded, reasoning there is a double standard in policing. The group’s last demand calls on lawmakers to pass the BREATHE Act, proposed last year and named in honor of the criminal hero George Floyd, that would reform law enforcement throughout the country while moving taxpayer dollars to a “new vision of public safety”.

In the meantime, Another weekend in Chicago.

Defense Department Denies Veterans Group a Permit for Memorial Day Event


The American Veterans (AMVETS) organization has been meeting at the Pentagon as a rallying point/parking area for their Rolling to Remember motorcycle event on Memorial Day for the past 32 years.  But not this year.  The Pentagon has released a statement denying them a permit, claiming it was due to Covid restrictions.

AmVets is in charge of the event and are a Congressionally-chartered veterans service organization, representing the interests of 20 million veterans.

The Pentagon's denial comes on the heels of the Smithsonian announcing last week that it will reopen eight of its facilities to the public in May, starting with the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly on Wednesday, May 5.  Additional museums will open this coming Friday, the United States Holocaust Museum announced that it plans to reopen on Monday, May 17, and the National Zoo on May 21. 

So just to make clear, they’re denying veterans the right to assemble in a parking lot, outside, during the day, where they’ve gathered for 32 years.

Least we forget, Joe Biden just held a photo op / political rally outside in Georgia. Can someone explain to me the difference? Why is that event just cool with the Biden, yet this one isn’t? Are they trying to say that the veterans who protected our country aren’t responsible or aren’t worth as much respect as a Biden political rally?
