save our zoo

in 1991 i did a story on how bad london zoo was

i was given some access as the zoo was trying to promote a 'save our zoo' campaign

i published a little zine for my assignment titled 'CLOSE OUR ZOO'

it was horrible to see animals being kept in the conditions they were in

after my initial visit, i would return after hours, jumping the fence to the zoo in regents park to photograph the animals when the public had gone

until one day when i luckily noticed the zoo had moved the wolves to the enclosure i used to jump into

coincidentally, i spent this morning at the big cat sanctuary in kent, again

and again, a tiger demonstrated how much he'd like to tear me to pieces

my tiger project is not going well...but that's another story...

this was the biggest kicker: when the zoo closes, the elephants got locked up

4 elephants chained together in a room 5 elephants wide: they got to shuffle forward and back

i wanted to FREE the elephants

reckon they spent more hours indoors than out 'having fun'

animals in small prisons: not good

i have been back to london zoo since 1991

i hope its better than it was

can't imagine it is: too small to be fit for purpose
