Zoo Label:Uncaged, a 1995 compilation of Zoo releases.
Zoo Records was a British independent record label formed by Bill Drummond and David Balfe in 1978. Zoo was launched in order to release the work of the perenially struggling Liverpool band, Big In Japan (the label's first release being the From Y To Z and Never Again EP). The label went on to release early work from The Teardrop Explodes and Echo & the Bunnymen. An independent record label is variously described as a record label operating without the funding (or outside the organizations) of the major record labels, and/or a label that subscribes to indie philosophies such as DIY and anti-corporate art. ...

Zoo Director Lucy H. Spelman, the former head veterinarian, said that many animals died of age-related problems and that the zoo is making significant improvements in care.
An internal zoo report found Spelman shared responsibility for Buumba's death because she had ordered food for all three zoo zebras to be cut in half the previous fall.
The records state that "given no lesions can likely rule out brain tumor" and thus the "most likely remaining condition is steroid responsive inflammatory." However, after the animal was put down, a pathology report found her abdomen was filled with multiple tumors.
It marks the fourth litter of the species at the state zoo and also is important for red wolves on a national scale.
The N.C. Zoo has participated in the red wolf recovery effort since 1993, providing not only an exhibit and breeding facilities, but advisors for the SSP and veterinary care for the wild wolves at Alligator River.
