Kiden says goodbye to Greenville; fans invited to a virtual goodbye
on April 3, 2020 at 12:19 pm
Greenville, SC (FOX Carolina) - On Friday, the Greenville Zoo made the announcement that the zoo's two-year-old female Masai giraffe Kiden would be leaving the zoo. Kiden will be heading to the Oregon Zoo in Portland later this spring. Once there, Kiden will be paired with the Oregon Zoo's 5-year-old male giraffe, Buttercup. Officials say the move is part of the Masai Giraffe Species Survival Plan, a cooperative breeding program among 34 zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Kiden will be moved to a separate stall and keepers will begin working to prepare her for her journey to Oregon. Because fans are unable to say goodbye in person, they are invited to say farewell during a Facebook LIVE virtual going away party on April 15 at 10am. Friends can also send well wishes on social media by tagging photos and drawings with #❤️Kiden. Greenville Zoo General Curator James Traverse said, “Even though we’ll miss her, we know Kiden will be in great hands and we’re proud and excited that this change will help ensure the survival of this magnificent species for future generations.” Residents in Greenville won't be left without a calf though. Autumn and Miles will still have their 9-month-old, Kellan, for a while.

The ordinance will also give officials the authority to fine people up to $100 per day if the violate the governor’s current guidance and social distancing protocols. Below are the 6 key components of the executive order: 1. City Council hereby respectfully calls upon Governor Henry D. McMaster issue a mandatory stay at home Executive Order, unless providing or requiring an essential service, for the State of South Carolina for a minimum period of fourteen (14) days, or such other period as may be determined to be appropriate by the Governor or the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare of the population of the State of South Carolina.2. Businesses permitted to operate within the City under Governor McMaster’s Executive Order No. 2020-17 must take the following proactive measures to ensure social distancing requirements, where implementing such measures would not create an undue hardship for the individual business: (1) designating with signage, tape, or by other means at least six (6) feet spacing requirements for customers and employees in line to maintain appropriate distance; (2) having hand sanitizer and sanitizing products readily available for employees and customers; (3) implement separate operating hours for elderly and vulnerable customers; (4) provide an alternative means of purchasing and delivering products and services, to include online or telephone orders and curb-side or off-site deliveries provided, however, no business is required to implement an online ordering platform or provide direct delivery service where they do not currently offer such services; (5) make regular announcements or place signage reminding customers and employees of social distancing measures; (6) install protective barriers at check-out counters; and (7) allow employees to wear protective masks and gloves. For purposes of this ordinance, “undue hardship” shall mean an action requiring significant difficulty or expense as it relates to the individual business, taking into account the following factors: the nature and cost of the measure at issue, the financial resources of the business, the type of operation of the business, and the impact of the measure on the operation of the business.3. City residents are strongly urged to stay in their homes except for the purposes of (a) working at or conducting business with those businesses permitted to operate under Executive Order No 2012-17 or (b) to engage in outdoor recreational activities permitted under said order. City residents are additionally strongly urged, where possible, to follow social distancing practices by which they maintain at least six (6) feet distancing from other individuals, wash hands with soap and water as frequently as possible or use hand sanitizer, cover coughs and sneezes (into the sleeve or elbow, not hands), regularly clean hightouch surfaces, and refrain from shaking hands. For the avoidance of doubt, failure to follow the advisory set forth in this Section 3 is not a violation of this ordinance.4. A person who fails to comply with this ordinance shall be guilty of a civil infraction, punishable by a fine of not more than $100.00. Each day of a continuing violation of this ordinance shall be considered a separate and distinct offense. In addition to the fines established by this Section 4, repeated violations of this ordinance by a person who owns, manages, operates or otherwise controls a business subject to this ordinance may, subject to all procedural protections set forth in the City Code, result in the suspension or revocation of any occupancy permit or business license issued to business where the repeated violations occurred. Repeated violations of this ordinance is additionally hereby declared to be a public nuisance, which may be abated by the City by restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunction, or other means provided for by the laws of this State. The foregoing notwithstanding, every effort shall be made to bring the business into voluntary compliance with the terms of this ordinance prior to the issuance of any citation. For the purposes of this ordinance, “person” shall be defined as any individual associated with the business who has the control or authority and the ability to enforce the social distancing requirements of the ordinance within the business, such as an owner, manager or supervisor. “Person” may also include an employee or other designee that is present at the business but does not have the title of manager, supervisor, etc. but has the control or authority and the ability to ensure that the requirements of this ordinance are met while the business is open to the public.5. Should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence or word of this ordinance be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences, or words of this ordinance as hereby adopted shall remain in full force and effect.6. In the event Governor Henry McMaster exercises any power enumerated under S.C. Code Ann. § 25-1-440 in a manner that conflicts with a provision of this ordinance, the conflicting portion of the ordinance shall immediately cease to have force and effect. Otherwise, this emergency ordinance shall be terminated by the issuance of another ordinance or shall automatically expire on the 61st day after enactment of this ordinance, whichever date is earlier. Council will vote on the emergency ordinance in a virtual meeting scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday morning. We spoke with two Greenville residents who say the city ordinance will help pave the path for all of South Carolina if passed. “I just think that the city of Greenville needs to play our part," said Eric Skoloff. "We’re a great city and we always lead in everything we do and I think we can really lead out this effort to conquer this virus.” “I believe it’s needed. It’s really running rampant. My family is from New Jersey and New York area so it’s really scary to know that it could get to that level," Jay Dunlap told us.
