NEW ORLEANS (AP) The cancellation of an event aimed at showing support for the New Orleans Police Department prompted “unintended fallout” and now the Audubon Nature Institute is planning another appreciation day.
Ron Forman, the Audubon s president and CEO, on Friday apologized for the “unintended message” sent to many in the community who said cancellation of the six-day “Blue at the Zoo” had caused “pain in our community and was (considered) unsupportive of the hardworking people of our police department.”
“This was never our intention,” Forman said.
The Blue at the Zoo promotion, initially scheduled from May 11-16, would have offered 20% discounts at zoo and aquarium concession stands and gift shops to anyone wearing the color identified with law enforcement, news outlets reported.
