Firstly, I would like to say I am a supporter of Zoos. I believe we need captive  breeding programmes. Continued habitat loss will continue to threaten  cat species.

There are still plenty of zoos that I would like to see closed...those with cages and tiny enclosures.

Wildlife Parks such as Marwell and Port  Lympne are models for the modern zoo.

I was a supporter of the Born Free Foundation and have in the past supported them through animal adoption but I do not agree with their black and white anti zoo stance.
