Dear John,
In our continued campaign to close Borth Wild Animal Kingdom our investigators visited the zoo last month, to check on the animals and collect further evidence of their suffering...
...And what we found was heartbreaking.
Our investigator found a serval and a wolfdog showing clear symptoms of zoochosis - a mental illness caused by the extreme stress and boredom of being held in captivity. Both animals were found pacing up and down within their small enclosures, a depressing example of stereotypical behaviour.

Cosmo, one of the zoo's two wolfdogs, was filmed repetitively circling the edge of his cage, driven mad by being denied the chance to fulfil some of his most basic natural instincts.
It is clear the suffering of animals continues at this horror zoo. And it is clear that we must stop at nothing to shut it down once and for all.
Take your next action to close 'Britain's worst zoo' by becoming a Freedom Champion today.
As a Freedom Champion you will make sure the fight can continue to shut down this horror zoo and the animals removed to new homes. After months of campaigning and repeated incidents at the zoo, the zoo is on its knees with forced closures and bans on keeping certain animals, as well as debts hanging over them.
We need to keep pushing! We can't give up on the animals.
