Safari is not closing

Thank you, Peter Main,

I have met Peter Main on several occasions (even shaking his hand), and I think he is probably a good person with a lot of common sense.

In the past several months, Mr. Main has made public statements concerning this transmission line, which is what he is paid to do by his employer, SWEPCO/ AEP, the same company I was employed with for 34 years. So, I know he is only saying and doingwhat he is paid to say and do.

I would like to thank Mr. Main for pointing out that the entire Safari is not closing. We plan on keeping the remaining sections of the Safari - Sections 1, 2 and 3 (only Section 4 is closing) - open so compatible species of animals can be kept together in natural habitats.

I would also like to thank Mr. Main for acknowledging our many supporters, of whichmore than 3,000 came out to our Supporter Appreciation Day on Oct. 6.

An additional statement will be released after litigation is complete. Litigation begins Oct. 17.

Thanks, again, Mr. Main.

Let’s back up and remember why we are in this situation.
