Loud music among the Zoo animals late into the night

Wellington Zoo has an outdoor venue among the animal cages where live bands and DJs blare music late into the night. I can hear it very clearly from my home.

The Zoo is generally quiet from very early evening and through the night. The animals will be used to the dark and quiet at this time, where they get some respite from being caged entertainment. But every now and then the evening brings more human harassment in the form of fantastically loud music and often chattering or yelling humans, that subjects these animals to further stress, sometimes until after midnight.
The Zoo told me this is done to make money. It’s punishment on top of punishment for animals, dressed up as both fun and conservation. It makes my skin crawl hearing this in our neighbourhood.
If you’re confused about the conservation façade, read from the many experts and research to understand that Zoos are really just recreation. And not for the animals.
Why does Wellington Zoo need to make it even worse?

FOUND!!! After 8 days missing - healthy and hungry. He had got into the roof cavity of a neighbouring property then fallen down a hole and unable to get out. His owner heard his calls for help and we followed the noise. THANKS to all the neighbours who helped search and allowed us to search their properties, some several times.

PLEASE HELP!! I am searching for a Maori woman, early 30’s who came to my rescue on Sunday 6th October, last year (2019) -at about 1pm.
I was riding my bike in Tahi Street, Miramar when a driver tried to run me over and then got violent. But the driver is now denying everything and accusing me of damaging her and her car.
The Maori woman I'm searching for saw it all, stopped and helped. I was pretty groggy and I didn't get her phone number before she left. I think she was driving a van like this (see photo below). If this is you, or you know her please get in touch. I just need a short statement of what she saw, it would help alot and I’d really appreciate it!
Photos: If you are the Maori woman I am searching for this is the type of van I think you were driving. This is the car driver you saw smash me. This is me on that day.
