    After the recent statement from Al Ain, I have now had a response from Giza Zoo. I don't suppose it will go any way towards stopping the protest outside of the zoo tomorrow as there a number of other animal issues in the zoo that the Egyptian groups are worried about...not least of which is the welfare of the chimpanzee which were evicted to make room for the Orangutans.
