A Captive Animals Protection Society investigation that revealed Noah's Ark Zoo Farm was breeding tigers for a controversial circus owner has resulted in the zoo losing its membership of the zoo trade body BIAZA (British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums).
View the BBC TV programme, Inside Out West online here.
An undercover investigator who worked at the zoo over the summer of 2009, revealed that the tigers who arrived in June and July 2009 came from the owner of the Great British Circus, the only UK circus to use big cats. Zoo staff told the public they came from a ‘private collector’ and the zoo owner told the investigator that he had hidden the circus connection from BIAZA.
One of the tigers, Tira, died 10 days after giving birth to four cubs. Shockingly, her head, paws and skin were cut off before her body was buried in breach of animal disposal legislation. All four cubs also died.
Working with the BBC programme Inside Out, CAPS discovered that not only did one of the tigers travel with the Great British Circus, but the male named Khan even featured on the circus promotional DVD performing tricks in the ring.
In a strongly worded statement BIAZA said that the behaviour of the zoo “has brought the Association into disrepute and that there has been a breakdown of trust”.
North Somerset Council did an investigation on Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, and have put seven extra conditions on their license.
Despite this, worryingly, Noah's Ark Zoo Farm has put in a planning proposal for an elephant enclosure, which has been granted.
What you can do:
1. BARC will be holding regular demos outside the zoo on most Saturdays. Please see the reports of our most recent demos. Visit our events page for dates of the next demos.
2. If you work in a school, have children at school, or have friends who do, please urge the school not to take children to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm.
