I hope they're able to figure out the cause of all the deaths so Toronto doesn't suffer the same fate.

I can't agree more. It's so sad that this has happened and really do think the Zoo will be able to build on this and create a better conservation and educational environment.

I had the pleasure of seeing the rays a week ago today and actually spent a good amount of time at the tank learning about an animal I had previously known nothing about. The lady that taught me so much (I'm afraid I can't remember her name) was genuinely affectionate of the animals and passionate for their wellbeing. This is why it makes me angry that already those opposed to zoos are using this to push their cause. If the Calgary Zoo could be found negligent at all here I'm certain that we will learn that it was only in believing people were generally better than they are. It's tragic both in loss of life, and in the possible loss of what I found to be the most educational exhibit the Calgary Zoo has had in a while. This is so tragic.
