New York Mayor Stands Up for Pandas

in Animal News on December 31, 2014

New York mayor Bill de Blasio is not interested in bringing a pair of pandas to the Central Park Zoo—much to the chagrin of U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), who is adamant that the zoo should obtain the pandas. Referencing de Blasio’s prior opposition to Central Park’s horse-drawn carriages, Maloney laments, “He [de Blasio] doesn’t like horses [in Central Park] and I guess he doesn’t like pandas [either].”
