The Other Paper:
Last September, American Electric Power and Texas drilling company Anadarko Petroleum reached an agreement to allow hydraulic fracturing for oil and natural gas—the controversial “fracking”—at the Wilds, home to hundreds of rare and endangered animals that’s operated by the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
Five months later, on Feb. 23, the zoo found out about it. From a reporter....
.....So are zoo leaders feeling blindsided and betrayed by AEP, a longtime corporate supporter?
“I don’t think that’s the word I would use,” said zoo president and CEO Dale Schmidt. “But we would have liked to have heard about it sooner.”
I guess we'd better go see The Wilds before the land, water, air, and most importantly, the animals are destroyed. The Wilds, which has many species, also has accommodations for visitors.
How many animals will die because of the contamination of the environment?
