As far as I can see they are currently listed as 'Least Concern', so wouldn't be relevant to this thread following the clarification of what the requirements were.

There are plenty of other gazelle holders in the UK - about a half-dozen places hold Blackbuck and over twenty hold Kirk's Dikdik
The nearest animal to a gazelle I could find was the blackbuck, kept at Heythrop, Knowlsey,Longleat Port Lympne, West Midland, Watatunga, Whipsnade

Pretty sure Heythrop no longer have Blackbuck.
While Longleat and Whipsnade either no longer have them or not for much longer.
Do Chessington no longer hold their Dorcas?

Longleat still did when I visited mid September, they're mixed with the macaques. They only have females as far as I saw.
Last time I saw Longleat's(with the monkeys) there were either four or five females I think. That was several years ago now.
