Kansas City Star | 06/30/2002 | Kansas City Zoo welcomes birth of orangutan

Apparently this was a needed shot in the arm for the KC Zoo:

The successful birth is welcome news to zoo officials after recent criticism over a decision to round up and kill more than 200 bothersome Canada geese. In addition, more than half of the zoo's summer exhibit of ocean rays died from a water quality problem, and a snow leopard recently died.
