New Gallup data show confidence in Congress at all-time low
Hard to believe, considering the House is finally taking interest in important issues like this:
June 21, 2007 SUPPORT NATIONAL ZOO KEEPER WEEK
Become an Original Cosponsor of the National Zoo Keeper Week ResolutionDear Colleague:
More people visit zoos and aquariums each year than attend all professional sporting events combined. Zoo keepers work every day as front-line educators for millions of children and adult visitors.
Zoo keepers do even more out of the public eye, acting as animal care givers, researchers and conservationists. An estimated 5,000 to 6,000 individuals work in some aspect of captive exotic animal care. Thanks to their efforts, visitors have a greater understanding of the animals they see and an appreciation for the importance of their habitats.
This year, the American Association of Zoo Keepers is sponsoring the first National Zoo Keeper Week from July 15 to July 21. This resolution recognizes National Zoo Keeper Week and its goal of increasing public awareness about endangered animals and habitats and the role that zoo keepers play in their preservation.
Please join me in honoring zoo keepers and their critical work by supporting the National Zoo Keeper Week resolution. The deadline to become an original cosponsor is 5 pm today, Thursday, June 21.
If you have any questions or would like to cosponsor this resolution, please contact Patricia Zavala at 5-2040.
Sincerely,
SUSAN A. DAVIS
Member of Congress
