.......;which is why I think it is good for this forum to have input from our European members ( providing that the material is kept relevant to the thread -- but I am probably as guilty as anyone else with this )
There may well be animals which zoos from NZ and Australia are phasing out , but for all we know , the same species may be thriving on an SSP in the European or North American Zoos -- snowy winters or otherwise .
My guess is that they dont have the strict Australian ( and the draconian NZ ) biosecurity laws , and can also have a larger range of animals , and as distances are alot shorter , there will be less transfer costs between zoos ....
To those of you who have ready access to zoos in Europe , keep up writing in the forum -- just use a new thread if need be ....
