Going going gone! Its animal
auction night at the Johannesburg Zoo
Johannesburg, 12 April 2005
Yes, it’s true…the Zoo is putting majority of its animal
under the auctioneer’s hammer. Mike Herman (Senior Curator)
describes the event as “ONE OF A KIND” in his 35 years with
the Johannesburg Zoo.
This is how the auction will take shape: The auction is
targeted at organisations that are committed to Corporate Social
Investment and anyone who wants to see the Johannesburg Zoo
become a world-class organisation. A corporate auction will take
place during a gala dinner on Friday, 29 April 2005, 7pm at the
Tree-of-Light lawn. Tables will be sold to corporates at R10 000
for 10 people. This will include dinner and selected drinks. The
public auction will take place on Saturday, 30 April 2005,
11-2pm at the Band Stand.
All animals on auction will be on view prior to the auction and WILL
have reserve price. The proceeds from sales will go to the
upgrade of enclosures, medical expenses, food and animal
enrichment programmes. The animals will NOT be taken
home, not because we think you can’t take good care of them,
but because the Zoo have specialist who will take care of your
animals on your behalf.
