Um, yeah? What is wrong with the zoo making money? That is how we feed the animals, and heat them, and buy bedding, etc. This statement shows you do not really understand what a non-profit is- non-profits can make money, its what they do with it that matters.

At the top of this page right now is a banner promoting the Gharial Conservation Alliance. The purpose of this banner is to drive traffic to their website, and hopefully receive donations SO THEY CAN HELP GHARIALS. Not so Rom Whitaker can get rich. We are also attempting to do something that is positive- help people, and by so doing, show them that snakes have value and hopefully encourage them to not want to kill every one they see. Driving visitors to the zoo may increase our profits, but it also increases our impact and allows us to educate more people. Our admission prices this year were $6 for adults and $4 for kids- we keep it as low as we can so people in this economically depressed area can afford to come. We're not getting rich off of it.

Save the gharials!
