hi Peter_at_Perth, this was from our local paper in Mandurah,( West Aus).....Peel Zoo owner Tony Greenwoods passion for animals & the Bali Zoo, will revive the bali zoo at a cost of $1.7 mill.aud, he says he's there to get this place back on its feet,he is not on a greedy hunt,he's donating money,time & knowledge to the staff for training etc.etc.I have never visited Bali Zoo ( and can honestly say wont.....as I do not like cruelty/caged animals,anywhere.......) but this guy seems to want to make a difference & he seems very genuine, also as he said "if the zoo closed the animals would die or go to the black market" I know theres a lot of flack about Melka (hevent been there either)..we could all help in a little way to each & every cause.....animals or children or dogs,each to there own,hope this helps & I dont upset anyone.....cheers max
