Inflation Strains Zoo Food Costs Across Venues
Rising prices hit animal feeding budgets at Crandon Park Zoo and New York City parks. The Crandon Park chief veterinarian notes a 15 percent rise in costs for 1100 birds, reptiles and mammals, with horse meat up from 29 to 37 cents a pound. New York City parks report a total food bill of 152,568 for last fiscal year and 160,100 so far this year, while Ringling Bros Bailey Circus reports meal plans including beef, horse meat and vitamins for 20 lions and 19 tigers. The parks department aims budget juggle to cover shortages with no cuts yet.
