How does the Chicago Air and Water Show impact animals at the Lincoln Park Zoo?

Huge crowds will flock to the Lake Michigan shoreline this weekend for the annual Chicago Air and Water Show, and the animals at the Lincoln Park Zoo will get a front-row seat. But how do they feel about all of the noise?

You mean the animals actually at the Zoo or the animals that run the streets of Chicago at night ?

Thank you, WGN, for thinking about the animals. This is an important story.

How does being locked in the zoo, impact the animals at the zoo??!?

I worked at LPZ, trust me- the animals (esp. big cats and giraffes) DO NOT like the noise. It's not just the weekend- the practice runs during the week that nobody mentions are really stressful on the animals.

The beautiful NW coast of Washington State is constantly traumatized by LOUD military jets. It's deeply shocking.

Yall care about the animals being irritated by noise but not being irritated by being locked in a cage and starred down by people for profit on a daily basis that makes alot of sense

Were the animals burdened by what has been?😂😂😂😂

2 minutes and 50 seconds of airtime wasted.

The air and water show is like an assault on residents - total noise pollution.

It so sad with all the new people coming into to America it is accelerating the climate crisis in America. Millions of more people breathing out carbon monoxide and the wast they produce. That’s why America is getting hotter, it’s people fault for the climate crisis.
