Reply To: The zoo needs to change its attitude about tigers (T)

They treat these animals like royalty!
We got an email on Sunday from London Zoo about a chimp that died:
“Once anaesthetised, and with the support of specialist doctors from University College Hospital and Guys and St Thomas’ in London, our vets could see that Kumbuka had an infection which required surgery to further investigate. Sadly this revealed that the infection was severe and widespread, and that the kindest, and only, option was to not bring him round from the anaesthesia.”
If only your average Joe on the NHS would get a team of doctors from two hospitals for their health issues…
