UPDATE: ZooLights! (Hogle Zoo rip off)

I just got a communication from another local musician who agrees on how Hogle Zoo's Zoolights! debases musicians, but from what she tells me, this is just the tip of the iceberg on Hogle Zoo's community relations problems.

This musician's daughter (who was 15) worked at Hogle Zoo and was routinely overworked for her age - in violation of Utah labor laws. On top of that the management left these young girls alone, at night, for extended periods until they could be picked up from work. Apparently calls to management were just ignored. So add labor abuse to roster of Hogle Zoo's problems.

This is still developing so stay tuned...
