    How about a different planet entirely - Mars perhaps !!?
    (On second thoughts I`m not sure that is far enough away, but at least there are no animals there to kill !!)

    No I am pretty sure he could manage to melt the ice cap there,which would not be good but it would prove that Trump is wrong!!

    Out of interest, how are things going for this place? Is it still in very poor conditions or has it improved?

    Do they still have Babirusa at South Lakes? Because I just checked the website and they're not listed on there anymore.
