The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

"Denies claims" Who tf made such a loud enough claim the government felt it necessary to respond?

As far as I can tell, the government said nothing, it was just a staff member from the zoo.
