History of The Jungle Zoo

A government zoo inspector, visiting the Jungle Zoo in 2000, recommended that its licence be renewed "despite a large number of defects" subject to the condition that the owners "produce a detailed and costed plan for the development of the zoo." But returning in 2006, the inspector again referred to the "considerable number of defects" at the zoo. Most damningly, the report stated that "although these were highlighted during the inspection of 2000, the problems have not been followed up by the local council and in the intervening six years these problems have become magnified and solutions are now becoming urgent."

Life has been miserable for the Jungle Zoo's unfortunate inmates from the start, and so it continues: birds housed indoors and showing signs of stress such as feather-plucking, snakes kept in tanks too small even to allow them to uncoil, and monkeys and lemurs kept outside on concrete floors exposed to the elements.

So it goes on....
