I think one of the great things is the way so many members rant about how un-naturalistic Aspinall's gorilla cages, wood-and-wire pens, etc. are, and then you see something like this.

This enclosure is fantastic for such a species , i believe this enclosure used to be for the sumatran rhinos i seem to remember them there. I agree with you Marwell darlek my friend about the whole natrualistic enclosures vs Aspinall parks enclosures. I think they should base their criticism on what they see by visiting the parks not on photographs , and well if they visit and they dont like what they see , then there is no harm done as the parks benefit from the gringo north americans money. Mind you if they saw some of the paddocks and the wonderful surroundings and view of the Romney marsh im sure they would be speechless and the criticism would stop.
Its worth adding IMO that the wood and wire primate and cat cages are often very large, well-furnished, and set in woodland. Give me these over an open hot-wired grass 'monkey paddock' any day.
