Openning A Private Zoo
26-12-2007
Hello all,
I'm very new this to this forum and found topics through my searches in google. I'm very interested in openning my own private zoo in the near future. I have a large amount of land in Swan Reach, rural South Australia that I bought purposely for this several years ago. I have acquired plenty of ongoing funding to support this as well as my income. I'm aware many on this forum may not be supportive, but for those that could help me it would be very much appreciated. Does anyone know who for me to contact regarding reigstration or applying for a license to do this in my state? Also who to contact to acquire the animals I want? I'm mainly interested in Afircan based animals including Lions. I would like old circus animals etc. Thank you very much for your time. Blake Mitchell |

I'm interested too. I know someone (my auntie) who plans on doing something similar. How do you go about getting the animals in the first place?

No doubt just a typo on Glynn's part - the rest of his post rings true...

I think the Dreamworld mentioned was actually the one on Christmas Island, not the one ptig works at

Yeah, because their own youthful dreams of owning some sort of zoo have turned to ashes, they are quite scornful of anyone elses!
Don't let them crush your dream Blake BUT be aware that your plans sound rather naive. The sad truth is that it is almost impossible to, privately, own a zoo in this country. The authorities, probably quite rightly, view with suspicion anyone who tries. It would be much more feasible in a country like U.S. where the mighty dollar seems to override all else and irresponsible ratbags are allowed to keep animals like tigers in their basements. Nevertheless it CAN happen. Examples? Mogo zoo on the N.S.W. southcoast and the rather grandiosely named National zoo at Canberra, which despite the name is privately owned. Be aware though that if it is to be anything other than a small "flea pit" you will need to be a multi millionaire. |

Ara, as 22 year old my dreams are still youthful. sorry Blake, just a little tongue in cheek humour.

Money isn't an issue...
The licensing and getting the animals is my issue. Everything else is good to go. I'm being very serious with this and would appreciate any help. Thank you. |
