How Trump can deport all those migrant predators at the National Zoo
snip
About time, I say. The zoo boasts prominently on its website that it has “more than 2,200 animals representing almost 400 different species.” Could there be a more brazen embrace of DEI? Searching the zoo’s website this weekend, I found 1,110 results for “diversity” — most of them treating it as a good thing, which it most certainly is not! “Study of Diversity Among Species Helps National Zoo Scientists Breed Endangered Species,” one page said. “Genetic diversity plays a major role in the overall health of a species,” another announced.
There are another 3,300 hits for “biodiversity,” a woke ideology the zoo is proudly spreading across the planet — and beyond. “Smithsonian Scientists Devise Method to Secure Earth’s Biodiversity on the Moon,” one article crowed.
Worse, the zoo is a 163-acre Sanctuary City operating in the heart of the nation’s capital. Not one of its 2,200 “residents” (as the zoo refers to them) is a citizen, a green card holder or even in possession of a student visa. Many of these are cold-blooded killers — total animals, in fact. The zoo provides refuge to the “green anaconda” (a migrant from south of the border, ‘natch), which the zoo admits is an “opportunistic apex predator.” In addition, “some of the top predators on the planet live at the Great Cats exhibit,” migrants from Africa and Asia, predictably.
These superpredators are coddled at taxpayer expense. An entire department exists to provide them all with “the best clinical veterinary care” — a form of socialized medicine. The “Africa Trail” — packed with illegal migrants from “s---hole countries” — is being renovated with “roomier indoor animal stalls” and “radiant heated floors.” The zoo doesn’t even hide that it is “enriching” these migrants instead of taking care of America First. The zoo openly admits it tries to “give animals more choices,” and these freeloaders even get “training sessions.”
