Gatortailale April 8, 2006 Author Share April 8, 2006 Clarification about frag trades at zoo Rule will be: NO FRAG OR ANY TRADE / SALE of livestock or any equipment on any zoo grounds, inside or outside any building or even the parking lot. The Zoo is Federal land and we can't abuse the privilege of having an event at the zoo. Even famous guest speakers are not allowed to sell their books after a lecture here. Very tight federal rules and I do not want to abuse the generosity of the zoo staff who hosting this event. Thanks for your understanding. Sorry for short notice.
