Resort zoo responds to boycott call over great apes
Blackpool Gazette
|August 02, 2025
Blackpool Zoo has defended keeping great apes in captivity - warning that some of those in its care otherwise face extinction.
-
The attraction was responding to the launch of a campaign by wildlife charity Born Free, which has called for the phasing out of the practice.
The organisation says the animals “deserve the jungle, not jail” - and is urging people not to visit any of the 19 UK zoos, including Blackpool, that house the likes of gorillas and orangutans.
