Coming Up Tomorrow On The Dickenbock Report: National Zoo Awareness Day

A sign at the Dublin zoo which reads "Do not stand, sit, climb, or lean on zoo fences. If you fall, animals could eat you & that might make them sick. Thank you."
(sign at the Dublin Zoo, found here)

Are you not aware that we still keep animals in zoos for our own amusement? Also that zoos often employ smart, caring people who work to make sure the animals' lives are good? That's the function of National Zoo Awareness Day, & on The Dickenbock Report tomorrow we shall endeavor to make you aware of zoos, whether you're currently aware of them or not.

That's Sunday, August 31, from noon to 1pm, on 91.1+107.1fm in Portland, & online everywhere (even at most zoos) at xray dot fm.

It turns out Dick Dickenbock wasn't even aware there was a zoo awareness day!
