I have a good idea for somewhere that could be a great place for a zoo as a sister facility to Perth and it could be open range if you want. How about near Monkey Mia halfway up western australia where all the tourists go because you can swim with the dolphins.

Isn't Monkey Mia too far away from Perth, or am I wrong? Look at Taronga Western Plains Zoo and its location...and that is the number one reason why they only get 200,000 visitors per year. That Dubbo site has puny numbers, and it is a stretch to get tourists to visit.

Personally Pat, I don't care where the open range zoo is situated, just as long as we get those larger animals out and into open areas like they should be. Who wants to get depressed watching large animals in small enclosures? This is why as the public become better educated, they are wanting better conditions for animals. I have been reading quite a bit on the web about how zoos send bears and other animals insane due to what some people accept as reasonable conditions.

@Jaywa: I hear you loud and clear. Zoochosis is one term, although there are many others, that is common and attributable in captive animals such as elephants and bears. You bring up some excellent points about the public, as many westernized nations simply are no longer impressed in substandard exhibits and tiny enclosures. One of the problems is getting across such concerns to horrid zoos in Japan, China, Thailand, etc.

It is pretty far but alot and alot of people go up there for the dolphins and because it's so far they have to stay the night and go back to perth the next day. So people are gonna spend two days their at the least. And Australia does need a few more zoos in high profile places so that they can hold excess stock and still get enough visitors.

Do you know Snowleopard? After what I have read on the net - I don't know that I like zoos at all. In fact, the majority make me sick. You speak of China - feeding live injured animals to big cats with their public watching and enjoying - egypt with their method of feeding the overworked donkeys as bait - it all makes me sick to the stomach.
