SF Zoo’s Last African Lions to Move to Colorado Sanctuary

Beloved lions’ new home features 3 facilities with a combined 40,000 acres. This past May, San Francisco Zoo & Gardens announced that it would be transferring its remaining African lions to a new home to better support their welfare needs as they age. When seeking a new home in conjunction with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan (SSP) for African Lions, one of the main requirements was that the facility be either an accredited institution or an SSP-vetted and approved wildlife sanctuary. Today, the Zoo has announced that its 11-year-old male Jasiri, and 12-year-old female, Marvella (also known as Lulu) will transfer next year to the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado.

Crime, Judgment, and America, on PBS

In the early 1990s, I worked as a law student intern in the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office. This meant visiting pretrial detainees in the Hall of Justice at 850 Bryant Street, a forbidding, seven-story concrete block that was an apt physical manifestation of what prison-reform advocates like to call “the carceral state.” One of our clients was a Salvadoran teenage gang member who had slashed his stepfather’s throat with a box cutter. He was, in a limited sense, quite likable. Among the many ironies of criminal defense work is that the most serious offenders are often the most relatable.
