Comment on the contents of this article by "Sheila Jones" on this link:
I couldn't care less how many wonderful and caring staff a zoo has or hasn't, they should all be boycotted for ever! As for Edinburgh zoo, I see there's no end to their money grabbing, uncaring behaviour. Now selling animals to private collections! What's that all about? I realise principles can't be sold or put on show - is that why they don't have any? The sooner that hell hole for animals is shut down, the better!
