JUNE 23, 2009: Simian Snub-China Says No Golden Monkeys For The Los Angeles Zoo
By“The Golden Monkey exhibit will bring visitors face to face with these beautiful and rare animals….”
Or in reality, cost taxpayers MILLIONS for absolutely nothing but an empty exhibit at the Los Angeles Zoo. China reneged last week on a 2002 deal with then Mayor Jim Hahn to loan three Golden Monkeys to the LA Zoo. Hahn went to China on a trade mission in hopes of securing Panda’s for the zoo. That request was denied and Hahn was instead offered a consolation prize of the rare Golden Monkey’s. The negotiated 10 year lease would have cost $100,000 in annual payments to China. The exhibit cost a reported $7.4 MILLION dollars. Included in the total, $4,500 for Feng Shui Consultant Dr. Simona Mainini, Architect and Feng Shui Master.
The exhibit was completed in the first part of 2008 and has sent empty ever since.
Los Angeles currently faces a $529 MILLION dollar unresolved budget deficit for the fiscal year that starts on July 1.
