Zoo

So why is the City of Melbourne, who would no doubt, given this is an annual invite-only event, dishing out $105 fines to the parents of disabled kids? That is absolute grub revenue raising, especially when the kids might need to get a car park close by because they have wheelchairs or other access needs.

So I've spoken to parents who are so upset to receive the fines and the whole point of the zoo shutting down is to make it easier for the families of disabled kids.

So we'll reach out to the City of Melbourne, but if you got a fine and attended the Dream Day at the Zoo, let me know.

Elite grub revenue raising from the City of Melbourne.

The council had parking inspectors out there.

The zoo closes down once a year for disabled kids and the parents buy a ticket because it's often kids with autism or sensory issues where they can't be around a big crowd.

And the council is out there booking people and they say they were not notified of the event at Melbourne Zoo.

Perhaps not necessarily centering them, but they are definitely there.

Now, my guest today is John M. Kinder, and he's the author of a fantastic book called World War Zoos.

And in fact, I recorded this interview almost a year ago.

So together with Jules, I recorded these before the other interviews because I finished reading the books.

The books were amazing.

And I thought, no, I have to talk to them while it's fresh in my mind.

Now, World War Zoos is just a phenomenal book.

If you're interested in war or the history of war, if you're interested in World War II, it's a book you should read, and it's probably going to give you insights into World War II you've never heard anywhere else.

Along the way, you'll enjoy some trick-or-treat stations, carousel rides, special keeper chats, and festive Halloween activities.

It's from 11 to 4 at the Red River Zoo.

That is tomorrow.

And then if you're down in Wahpeton, or if you want to double up, Wahpeton is having their Zoo Boo from 2 to 5 p.m. at Changkapa Zoo.

That one is $5 per person in Wahpeton.

Children can enjoy some safe trick-or-treating in the decorated zoo.

Doing well.

Yeah, gearing up for helping out Boo in the Zoo again this weekend.
