Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 My " sources " tell me the 4 gorillas sent from Nigeria to Malaysia known as the Taiping 4 are possibly " in transit " and are going to the Pretoria Zoo in South Africa. Can anyone confirm or clarify this??? Since zoos committed this crime, there are many who believe another zoo shouldn't benefit by this. Not all zoos are involved in illegal activites such as putting false information on legitimate CITES documents (stating the four baby gorillas were captive born, when anyone even asking the first round of questions would/could have seen this was not only unlikely, but totally impossible, since Nigeria only has 1 elderly female gorilla in captivity). But ALL zoos should be concerned by this case and the light it sheds on the " business " of conservation ... Jane Dewar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
