Twycross Zoo Twycross Zoo News 2011 #1

Ahh! That explains it.
I guess they have been gagged like almost every member of staff who have been forced out. So many good people have lost their jobs. Some have been there for decades.
It's an outrage.
I know of at least a dozen who's faces didn't fit after the new director moved in.
The zoo council are as responsible as anybody.
Actually, a lot of the original council appear to have gone too. I wonder if they resigned or were removed!
It's a shambles.
 
'Come See Me!' (buy tickets) Euuuk....:mad: yet another Zoo marketing department joins the 'Americanisation' bandwagon. I wonder where will be the first UK zoo to describe an animal mother as a 'Mom'- or has it already happened somewhere?:rolleyes:

At a glance it seems quite an impovement but it does beg the question, "why didn't the last update (less than two years ago by my memory) do the job properly?"

Classic Twycross themes here:

1. (Spending money on) doing things multiple times rather than doing it properly once;
2. Throwing money at (continued heavy) marketing rather than infastructure (I realise this is a balancing act).
 
The website looks a bit more professional than the old effort, except for...

"Over the last six years, visitors to our Zoo will have noticed our emersion exhibits, these give visitors the opportunity to experience different parts of the world and see the animals in their natural habitat."

Ho hum...
 
Just some more pointless twycross news, the two Snow Leopards have been renamed Will and Kate due to the royal wedding...:o :rolleyes:

I'm in two minds on this, I can't decide whether it's pathetically desperate or desperately pathetic.

Perhaps they have been named in memory of all the leopards who's skins are to be found adorning the uniforms of the drummers in the royal family's marching bands.
 
Unfortunately ( as far as I am concerned anyway ) the whole country seems to have caught 'Royal Wedding Fever ' , the media is absolutely full of it .

Wonder if next Friday morning would be good for a quiet Zoo visit or whether zoos will be full of people trying to escape from the event ?
 
I'm thinking of a double-header: an early morning walk at RSPB Coombs Valley and the rest of the day at Blackbrook - which should be quiet enough for a grumpy old soul like me ;)
By the time I get home, I'm sure all the fuss will be over.

Keep your eyes peeled 'round Blackbrook - heard a vicious rumour there may be some other Zoochatters there that day! ;)
