L.A. Zoo reopens after wildfire threat

11:33 AM, July 28, 2008

The L.A. Zoo reopened this morning after firefighters knocked down a 25-acre blaze that briefly threatened the zoo and one of its California Condor breeding facilities, the Times's Stuart Pfeifer reports.

After the blaze broke out near the zoo Sunday afternoon, officials evacuated 4,000 visitors and relocated 18 California Condors and two king vultures from a breeding facility that was close to the fire.

"...quite simply, BSL has failed to reduce bites/attacks/deaths everywhere it has been enacted. It's knee-jerk, feel good legislation that does not one thing to increase public safety."

- Roofy Martineez, on Aaron Rochester, the Iowa politician whose Labrador retriever bit a neighbor and was deemed vicious after Rochester pushed for breed-specific legislation (BSL) to ban pit bulls
