Effects on zoos by the Brexit :

Brexit also threatens free movement of zoo animals

I don't believe anything written about Brexit in the Daily Mail or any Associated Newspapers publication. For the sake of the farming industry more than for zoos, I am sure that the 'Great Repeal Bill' (sic) will ensure that UK animal health regulations will continue to be harmonised with those of the EU.

UK zoos can and do import stock from non EU countries, I can't see a problem.

This article discusses some of the potential issues with moving animals to/from Europe post-Brexit.

Forget about moving animals, how hard will it be to move me on my next trip?

More than likely you will not notice any difference!

I've only read the a abstract, maybe I should read the whole paper but it does seem like an exercise of stating the obvious.

Project fear as been going on since the vote was taken well to be honest it was going on before the vote.
Many people fear this and that without knowing the facts as no deal as been struck between the UK and the EU I can't see why people are projecting their views not knowing what is happening.

People "projecting their views not knowing what is happening" sums up the whole problem of Brexit very neatly.

Because it's fun...

No problem for zoos! As for the rest of us we'll have to wait and see!

Anyone remember the millennium bug?

Anyone remember the millennium bug?

That didn't really happen, sadly Brexit will, deal or no deal!

 

[Ned]

The millennium happened, the bug didn't

 

[pipaluk]

So 2019 happened & Brexit won't?

 

[Ned]

I just remember the millennium bug was a lot of fuss about nothing. Supposed experts predicted flight being grounded, intensive care units being closed and cash machines breaking down but nothing changed. I wonder if Brexit will be similar.
