Herve Huncetler, co-owner of George's restaurant, said the eatery spent $10,000 to bring the animals to the county-owned lot across the street from the business and provide balloons and face painting for children, The Miami Herald reported Wednesday.

Workers at the Boca Tanning Club said customers were late for appointments due to the traffic delays and difficulty finding parking. Jill Rapperport, who teaches yoga at the Tropical Audubon Society Botanical Gardens, said she and some others were upset by the small size of the animals' cages. "We love nature and peace around here," she said.
