She's passed on my email to the CEO of Born Free. Just had this email from them:<BR/><BR/>Dear Beverley<BR/>Thank you for your email<BR/>I’ve spoken with our Zoocheck team, who are aware of this Safari Zoo in Mallorca; we receive lots of complaints about this.<BR/>They will be in contact shortly, as soon as they have more information about the place and who you can contact to report your concerns to.<BR/> <BR/>I hope this is of help<BR/> <BR/>Warmest Regards<BR/> <BR/>Angelique <BR/><BR/>Not heard back from WSPA UK yet, but it sounds like this zoo is on everyone's radar.Beverley Cuddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544804932989118884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-3644651063310752822007-09-02T10:40:00.000+01:002007-09-02T10:40:00.000+01:00Well done Beverley, well done WSPA.What happened t...Well done Beverley, well done WSPA.<BR/><BR/>What happened to WSPA UK?<BR/><BR/>I hope they investigate thisChapstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642615396582620026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-63443489925527346792007-09-02T08:45:00.000+01:002007-09-02T08:45:00.000+01:00Pretty impressed, I emailed WSPA USA last night as...Pretty impressed, I emailed WSPA USA last night as I couldn't get the UK site to work and have already got a response! See below... <BR/><BR/>Hi, Beverley, <BR/> <BR/>Thank you for contacting the WSPA. <BR/> <BR/>I'm out of the office on my way to Jamaica to assist WSPA's disaster relief team in helping dogs in the aftermath of Hurricane Dean, and won't be back until September 10. <BR/> <BR/>I've copied Jennifer Brown, our Marketing Assistant above, to ask that she please check with our London headquarters to try to get an answer for you and respond to your inquiry. As you may know, WSPA is the world's largest alliance of animal welfare groups with more than 800 member societies in 147 countries. I'm hoping that our London office may know of a local group that can help the animals in the Safari Zoo. It's a very challenging problem since there are so many poorly run zoos all over the world...Our Canadian office recently had a major victory in getting legislation passed to tighten regulations and oversight of roadside zoos in Canada, after many years of lobbying in that country, exposing bad zoos in the media, and calling for stricter enforcement of animal cruelty laws. One of the things that the WSPA is doing to try to increase recognition and protection for animals around the world is working to pass a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare at the United Nations. For more information, please visit: www.animalsmatterusa.org <BR/> <BR/>Thanks again for caring about animals.

Us Brits are just huge animal lovers, almost to the extreme. What makes me laugh is that in Britain fox hunting has been banned (or tried to be) yet in Spain one of their favorite sports is throwing a donkey of the top of a high rise building and watching it fall to its death. I am not joking either, Spain are barbaric when it comes to animals. When I was in France in 2002 we saw a circus drive through town full of animals, lions, and elephants that lived out their days in lorrys. <BR/><BR/>Badger xBadgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977449029160863250noreply@blogger.com
