Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Dear colleagues, This is not a strictly Asian message but pretty germane to captivity issues here since it is the strongest challenge posed to the report of the second World Zoo Conservation Strategy published in 2005. The Born Free Foundation has recently published several reports questioning the claims of zoos in UK. The findings can be extrapolated for zoo situations in most parts of the world. Link here : http://www.bornfree.org.uk/campaigns/zoo-check/uk-zoos/zoo-conservation/ Virginia McKenna, the founder of the Born Free Foundation, remains an inspiration as ever. I am constantly amazed at how much she has singlehandedly done for the sake of captive animals the world over. They have a couple of captive animal welfare projects in India too, principally at Bannerghatta National Park in Bangalore. And her films 'Born Free' and 'A Ring of Bright Water' continue to charm audiences as much as they did decades ago. Best wishes and kind regards, Sincerely yours, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
