Don't forget its their stated aim 'to shut down all Zoos' so they hardly likely to support plans for a new one!

is suppose its in the name "born free" they obviously dont understand the "limited" but useful purpose of captive breeding - im not saying that captive breeding will save all animals but for the select few it can make a big difference

Pity most of the Big Cats that they have released back in Africa still live in large fenced enclosures because they wont survive in the wild on their own,case of double standards i think.
