Fellow forumsters,

Have a little faith will you? The credit crunch is the utmost challenge to go up another alley anyways (and besides it has shown that Bushonomics are far from leading us on a sustainable development path).

So, I do believe the Bristol NCWP will be built, even if over a longer time-frame, and that it will open in time as envisaged by management. The director and management of Bristol Zoo are sound zoo people and its director has been through the worst of the London Zoo crisis ... mind you! It is for these very reasons and the good standing of Bristol Zoo in the zoo world that I have complete faith in this endeavour.

They are indeed. But Bristol have put forward other plans for this estate in the past and they never came to fruition. I'm not saying it won't happen this time but I am not 100% convinced yet...

Chester plans are much longer in timescale, so we may not see anything anytime soon.

Although said that, I know that they are puting together pre-liminary designs as we speak.

I know what you are saying but actually Bristol Zoo's recent elephants apart from Christina, lived to a reasonable age and as a small urban zoo they couldn't be expected to house more than one or two females at a time, so have never been able to attempt breeding. I think their record with them is typical for a zoo of that type. I don't think elephants feature in any of the plans of the NWCP though.

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't say they had a bad history. All of them lived to a decent age, and it's not like they tried to breed them and failed.
