City Council has voted against exotic animals coming to London.
The decision came after council considered the proposal from a committee that would have allowed the reptile zoo “Reptilia” to come to London.
City council voted 9-6 against the recommendation of accepting the committee’s proposal.
The location had already been under construction for years, but it and been turned down by previous councils.
City councilors had various opinions the matter.
Coun. Elizabeth Peloza mentioned that if the council voted ‘no’, there is no need for another public participation meeting.
Coun. Paul Van Meerbeergen talked about the zoo’s exoitic inhabitants would be treated.
The zoo is allowed to re-apply in one year.
