    And testament to your ability to run a zoo which is a little off the beaten track and attract people with such an impressive collection full of species that aren’t classed as the typical Zoo animals Andrew!

    Compared to Belfast which the only major zoo in Northern Ireland and keeping many of the big popular animals I would question why it is performing so badly, surely they should have the monopoly, glad a closer look is finally being made.
    Especially if the enclosures are deemed suitable ....

    My point was on the politics/economics really, and had no reference to Belfast as I don't know any details. Where possible I've tried to limit my input here if I can, to correcting miss-information or miss-assumptions; as quite commonly these are apparent/relative naivety about the economics and reality of the real world (not fantasy ones) in which we must all live and operate.
