Lowry Park Zoo story continues to worsen

Posted by Alex Pickett on Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 1:31 PM

This afternoon, we'll learn the fate of Lowry Park CEO Lex Salisbury, accused by city officials of unethical practices concerning his for-profit venture Safari Wild and the zoo. Then there are the issues with animals traded to non-accredited institutions, and others that have died under Salisbury's watch.

Right now, a bored media is waiting at the Mainsail Suites Hotel in Tampa as armed Hillsborough County deputies guard the meeting room. Earlier, a St. Pete Times blogger reported that Salisbury's Nissan Pathfinder has an "Enjoy More Beef" license plate. But what Salisbury left inside the car on a sunny Florida day is a little more telling:

Two small dogs.

Good god! As if this dude wasn't in enough trouble already for his seeming distinct lack of scruples and compassion when it comes to animals. Makes me ill.
