    I don't think the sad-face emoji is the correct one. From photos and what I've heard from people who have been there, it is better that it is either closed or completely redeveloped for the animals' welfare.

    It definitely needs redevelopment, and many individuals are kept in very poor conditions indeed. However, it is a nice collection, and it would be nice to see it continue in a more welfare-focused way. It will be interesting to see what will happen to the collection, I suspect many will be sold to private collectors though.
