Title: wow
Post by: miggy on 19 January 2008, 21:03:23
Whilst in Devon last week we went to the Dartmoor wildlife Park (Bens Zoo) there was a documentry on TV a few weeks ago.

Took this pic of one of the star animals, she was cat napping, dont realise how awsome these Tigers are until you get close.

This Zoo was taken over by Ben, the previous ownwers mis-treated all the animals, whilst i aint in favor of Zoos, I had to go to see all the hard work and money this chap has put into it.

He has done a fantastic job........He was telling us about some previous findings when he took over........One of the outbuildings was being done up and when the builders went in to gut it, they called him to take a look at what they had found, under the floor boards they found skeletons of tigers and lions, when the new owner reported the findings to the police, it turned out that the previous owner used to have the yanks over to do target practice and shoot to kill on the tigers, the yanks paid big money to do this.
