PETA Wades Into Zoo's 'Name the Otters' Contest
To
drum up business, The Brandywine
Zoo in Wilmington,
Delaware, is holding a contest
to name its two newly acquired North American river otters. So PETA is submitting
our top choices for names that we think are otterly
appropriate: “Crave” and “Freedom.”
Since
the zoo bills itself as an educational facility, our names will help teach
visitors that animals belong in nature, not in small enclosures for the rest of
their lives. As we pointed out in our letter to zoo officials, “North
American river otters are highly
mobile and regularly travel up to 26 miles a day. In captivity, their range is measured in feet,
not miles. North American river otters
are very social and commonly
establish large, enduring social groupings. At The Brandywine Zoo, these otters
will have only each other for companionship.
We
wrote to the zoo to suggest our names because staff members have already
narrowed down the options to three pairs of names that people can choose from—for $1 per vote. Considering how the zoo is already
cashing in on the new otters, perhaps another appropriate pair of names would
be “Meal” and “Ticket.”
