ZGL Theatres/2024 Animal Executions

The 2024 Animal Executions are events relating to ZGL Theatres, an American movie theater chain based on the animated sitcom Zachary, Grace and Lexia.
This event will close 26 locations while also delaying the openings of 27 locations.
==Premise==
On November 10, 2023, the chain announced that they would no longer close or delay all locations with Zachary and Meredith Bortz on their restrooms due to the characters now living together as Zachary moved in with Meredith. As revealed in Meredith's New Jerseyan Life: Full Stream, because the Crime Crew and Extreme Gut Busters are not really teams, two events would happen on January 2, 2024:
#Since the Crime Crew and Extreme Gut Busters are the only two what everyone calls them "teams" left after the retirements of Robot Hell on Earth and the Lunch Club and that they had been deemed useless groups even for the human members, the animal members of both teams combined would be executed under the order of the FBI and the human members of both teams combined would form a girl group called the Vacation Chicks.
#All animal members of both the Crime Crew (Stormwash Spawner, Sherlock Sheahomes, Jayfeather, Ropeslinger, Doodle and Ravenpaw) and Extreme Gut Busters (Thonglaw, Tallstar and Earth Slugger) combined would have all their locations get announced for closure or get delayed in order for them as well as the other characters with them to get replaced before their former locations reopen at a later date as they would be stripped from the chain due to all nine characters getting executed by the FBI.
On November 22, 2023, the chain announced that while Ravenpaw would still be executed on January 2 as planned as well as have all his locations get announced for closure on that same day, the executions for the eight other animals on January 2 would be delayed, meaning their locations would get announced for closure or get delayed that same day as well. The following new dates for the eight other executions are as follows:
*Stormwash Spawner, Sherlock Sheahomes, Jayfeather, Ropeslinger, Thonglaw, Tallstar and Earth Slugger: February 8
*Doodle: February 29
The reason for the delayed executions for the eight other animals was to execute them near the completion of construction on their upcoming locations (if they had any) and to have them guest appear in at least one episode of season 12 of Meredith's New Jerseyan Life.
