Wealthy philanthropist Preston Davis has made a $40 million gift to the mythical Jackson Kennicott Zoo to launch an exhibit that will bring a species back from extinction while attracting thousands of zoo-goers and leveraging many millions more for this urban zoo, its city’s schools, its region’s residents, and its area’s businesses. Questionable language from this humanitarian casts doubt on the moral decision to accept the donation, despite its ripple effect of financial benefit and species survival.
