It seems as though this zoo will never be far from controversey of one kind or another

Bristol Zoo http://www.bristolzoo.org.uk/ is circa three miles from this so called zoo, and is a well respected scientific zoo.

Not that such things exist here (I had forgotten about this place but do vaguely remember now you mention it), but that schools were taking their students to it.

I have no idea where such visits might fit into the national curriculum. I suppose it might fit into RE, just.

I wish I knew how much – if any – ID/Creationism stuff is up there. I’ve no particular objection to Christians running a zoo, even especially loony ones provided they don’t use it to push some relgious message. Schools can use decent places for day trips.

Bwahahahahaha! As usual the idiots are either ignorant or simply Liars for Jesus and confuse their freedom to believe bullshit with others’ freedom to laugh and point at them and call them morons. I do wish people would be more sensible and simply stop supporting these organizations with a religious agenda; isn’t there another non-religious zoo not too far away that kids can visit?
