Muslim prayers at zoo upset some people

-

A Quebec zoo is defending itself after receiving criticism for allowing a group of Muslims to pray on its premises. Parc Safari says it has been the subject of hateful and racist comments since a YouTube video was posted on Sunday showing the prayers. A woman can be heard shouting, “we are too conciliato­ry,” while another says she is against prayers in public spaces. Zoo management says the Muslims respected all the guidelines and would have been expelled had they not.
