A committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a resolution Thursday that would allow city departments, including the mayor's office, to solicit donations from private philanthropic groups to help fund the costly endeavor of hosting giant panda s from China at the San Francisco Zoo .
'Pandas are famous for adapting poorly under captivity, often refusing to breed. They can easily die from negligence as evidenced by Le Le's death at Memphis Zoo last year, which was front page news in China and caused great anger towards the United States,' said animal activist Fleur Dawes. Dawes spoke as a representative of SF Zoo Watch, an organization committed to raising awareness on the zoo's controversies of negligence and mismanagement that endanger animals and workers.
