After seeing the news unfold about the escaped Lynx from Borth Wild Animal Kingdom, in Wales, I can't believe small operations such as these are still allowed to run.
The zoo in Borth had a lynx escape which had to be shot dead. Whilst this was happening the council decided to perform an inspection. In their haste to move the remaining lynx to a larger more suitable encloser another lynx was strangled to death.

The owners only recently bought the place and have not come from a zoo background. They have no formal training. They have already run out of money and are crowdfunding in order to make necessary repairs.
AIBU to think it's time small zoos, who often don't have the expertise (or money) to look after the animals properly, were closed?
