The city of Attleboro, Massachusetts, is planning to transform Capron Park Zoo into a nature reserve and wildlife rehab center. The move is due to the zoo's high maintenance costs and declining attendance as a key reason for the decision. The city's mayor, Cathleen Desimone, stated that the zoo has been too expensive to maintain and that the transformation will take years to complete. However, some in the community have expressed concern about losing a local staple, particularly for small businesses.
