Chester zoo is on fire

[KathrynOfArrogance]

And I really want to go and help the animals but I know they wouldn't let me anyway!
People are important too but the poor animals must be so so stressed!
AIBU to want them to escape :(

They must have had one big donation because when I went on they had 12 donors and had raised 43k

You must have looked at the number of 'fundraisers' Brizzle
Currently they have had 4942 individual donations, total £87,643.00.

I thinkchester zoo is a registered charity perhaps the money will go to that?

@IShitChristmasGlitter The second photo is the treehouse area visitors walk through near the orangutans, unfortunately. It was mostly timber and had little displays with camping equipment etc.

I gave on the just giving page. So sad to read about the fire and that not all the animals could be saved. The keepers must be devastated.

The donations total £94,129 now

An example of how Chester Zoo house their prisoners

That’s not a true representation of the giraffe enclosure as you probably well know, assuming this is your picture.

THIS is how the giraffes live at chester zoo

It is not my picture. I saw it on Twitter.

How lovely that the giraffes are occasionally allowed outside though. I bet they just love the British weather! If not, I suppose they could just pop a jumper on!

Actual giraffe area. And the door is open unless there is reason for it not to be!

oh fuck off trumptrump the giraffe enclosure is fantastic. Typical spouting off shite you know nothing about! Chester zoo is a fantastic zoo and do alot for conservation and rehabilitation in the wild.

Oh, piss off trumptrump. The giraffe enclosure is massive.

trump the handful of giraffes in this enclosure, who were born there btw. Are a representative of the conservation work the zoo are doing out in their natural origin

The giraffes were born in the uk, they are used to ‘british weather’, they are a part of a breeding programme like most zoo animals, they have lots of room and are not locked up all day in cages.

Choose any animal in that zoo and there will be a conservation effort undertaken. All of these animals are well looked after and are there to highlight how we as the public can help their wild counterparts

So you plucked a picture off the internet and decided to use it to criticise a bloody brilliant zoo.

Trumptrump seems to have a very apt user name.

read this trumptrump and prepare to feel like a twat

@brizzledrizzle was just about to say that!

That is the Giraffes bedroom enclosure they need the fencing on it by law i would imagine it is regulation fencing but i guess if you are copying off twitter it is from a like mined person but Chester Zoo is not like a prison.

I'm sure the gorilla and other monkey bedroom enclosures are similar and there's videos on YouTube of them climbing between the "rooms" and having a jolly old time. If they were unhappy/caged up they'd surely not be running round the enclosure.

@kathrynofarrogance great minds
I like your username.

Oh thank goodness the animals are ok, although their home is devastated

trump trump, go away and educate yourself on Chester zoo before you assume.

@KathrynOfArrogance @Loopylou6 I'm 10 miles away too, so am near-ish to you both!

Just seen KathrynOfArrogance that you're from the plane place, I'm in the same county just up the road on a hill!

Do you think they will thrive better if they escape?
