The board of the Toronto Zoo has planned a closed door meeting for the first week of September to discuss the future of the facility.
The news has left critics worried that the board is looking at ways to sell the zoo off to the private sector, according to The Toronto Star.
The plan to sell it off was first brought up by city council last year. Members heard it would make the zoo more profitable and more efficient, and it would save more than $10-million per year in annual subsidies.
Critics are concerned that if the Toronto Zoo lands in private hands, the fate of the animals and conservation efforts would be at risk.
