Liberals have already ruined Hollywood and the music industry for millions of Americans by conflating politics and entertainment … but zoos?
The Cincinnati Zoo ran afoul of quite a few people Saturday when it picked up on a #WomensMarch2018 poster showing a picture of the zoo’s baby hippo, Fiona, with the words “Fiona Is Female.”
It’s far from the most offensive poster we’ve seen at the marches (that would probably be this one), but still … did the zoo have to jump in and politicize the popular baby hippo that was born 6 weeks premature and nursed to health?

Yes, Fiona is female, and obviously, someone not affiliated with the zoo made the sign … but anyone who thinks the Women’s March is an all-encompassing pro-woman event is either ignorant or deluded. Did they happen to catch the headlining speakers last year?
Oh, good..ZOOS are getting political.

Zoos shouldn’t get political — but if there were a proper place for a Fiona poster, it would have been at the #MarchForLife Friday.
Don’t politicize Fiona.

If you're pro-life and not a hyper-leftist, Cincinnati Zoo just told you to stay away. Columbus Zoo might be an option this summer while Cincy Zoo hates you.

Hi, remember that love you felt for Fiona last year?
I was wondering if I could ruin it by endorsing an event led by an Anti-Semitic https://t.co/ebKv09QInn— Sandy 〽️ (@RightGlockMom) January 20, 2018

Please don’t link Fiona to any political movements. She represents innocence and love to everyone. People will read this tweet and feel saddened that she has been used to promote something political.

Sooooo sorry you did this. Fiona was a respite from the crazy goings on in the world outside. Did you really want to alienate so many of her fans and your followers?

Fiona must be Democrat, otherwise she wouldn't be welcomed and celebrated. #WomensMarch https://t.co/XaBN4dVQzi

Pro-lifers not welcome, either.

No, it’s not a big crisis, but we’d have been happier if the zoo had stayed out the political realm.
Harambe wasn't welcome at your zoo, and neither are pro-lifers. https://t.co/43OceGZ1Mg
