    I don't believe anything written about Brexit in the Daily Mail or any Associated Newspapers publication. For the sake of the farming industry more than for zoos, I am sure that the 'Great Repeal Bill' (sic) will ensure that UK animal health regulations will continue to be harmonised with those of the EU.

    UK zoos can and do import stock from non EU countries, I can't see a problem.

    Project fear as been going on since the vote was taken well to be honest it was going on before the vote.
    Many people fear this and that without knowing the facts as no deal as been struck between the UK and the EU I can't see why people are projecting their views not knowing what is happening.

    People "projecting their views not knowing what is happening" sums up the whole problem of Brexit very neatly.

    No problem for zoos! As for the rest of us we'll have to wait and see!

    I just remember the millennium bug was a lot of fuss about nothing. Supposed experts predicted flight being grounded, intensive care units being closed and cash machines breaking down but nothing changed. I wonder if Brexit will be similar.
