Not the best looking enclosure, what a nightmare it was trying to get a shot of them! They do hope to plan to make a new enclosure in a couple of years which would be good! Did you see the female on the right?

Yes that's true, fingers crossed they stay, although they have such a short life span in captivity! I saw both females a few months ago, but the male is much easier to get a glimpse off late in afternoon

Unfortunately, the last one had passed away just prior to my first visit to PL in October 2014. This was the sight/site on my most recent visit, just a few days ago:

what an odd way to dismantle/destroy a cage. Is it some form of modern art? I am bewildered by the whole cage being demolished but with the sign still lying right there on the ground. It just looks so strange.

To be fair, I think I happened to capture this mid-dismantling, while the dismantlers were away on their lunch-break. I passed by again a couple of hours later and much had been cleared away, including the sign. It was the presence of the sign which drew me to photograph the scene though -- kind of a sad comment on the fate of the BFC in Europe (no reflection on PL of course)...
It looks as if they burnt the wooden sections of the structure- it would have been very old, and if the cats carried something contagious, safer to do so anyway.
