A company wants to build a data center fifty yards from some of the rarest animals on Earth. No environmental study. No conversation with the zoo. Just a permit application and a promise that everything will be fine.
The Nashville Zoo has bred more clouded leopards than anywhere else on Earth. They just had their fiftieth baby born. These animals are some of the rarest creatures alive. They are incredibly sensitive to noise and light.
Fifty yards from where those leopards sleep, a company wants to build a giant data center.
No study of how the noise would affect the animals. No study of the light pollution. No conversation with the zoo. Not one single meeting. Just a permit application filed with the city and a promise that everything would be fine.
The zoo said no. They launched a petition. In five hours 51,000 people signed it. In two days it hit 153,000.
153,000 people saying the same thing: not next to the leopards. Not like this.
The company has not even called the zoo to talk about it. The zoo’s CEO confirmed that. The company just filed papers and said trust us.
That is the same thing they say in every town. Trust us. No studies needed. No meetings required. No questions answered. Just trust us and step aside.
The residents of Nashville are not stepping aside.
The leopards cannot speak for themselves. The Sumatran Tigers cannot speak for themselves. The Mexican Spider Monkeys cannot speak for themselves.
But 153,000 neighbors just did.
