“Gerry, I am glad you enjoyed your visit to the ark and the comment on animals being happy, you have a talent!!!!! The enclosures are large, but that does not mean they are happy, where in the wild do you get one solitary giraffe!!!!! As for Bristol Zoo, the charge is taken back into the zoo to feed the animals and help with conservation, zoo's are linked together for conservation. Also Bristol have changed from the Victorian Zoo it was and are now focusing on smaller animals, hence they haven't replaced Wendy!! The other Zoo that has done this is of course London, who decided to move all their large animals to Whipsnade, and the concentrate on smaller species. If Noahs Ark were that interested in conservation , the why haven't they offered their land to Bristol Zoo,to expand into a safari Park! Bengal Tigers do not belong on a farm in North Somerset, that take people on tractor rides, and preach God's word when watching their animal encounters!! That is not what conservation is about. They should stick to what they know which is domestic and farm animals.
And if you think they will charge the same price if they get Tigers, then I can bet his prices will increase. He will want to recoop his £200,000 that has been spent.”

“Noahs ark is fantastic for children and adults alike, it has real animals in comfortable surroundings, unlike bristol zoo who charge huge amounts of money to see nothing.”

“"Noah's Ark Zoo" is just a front for peddling creatinist propganda. I urge people not to fund this fantasy.”

“well said helen this so called zoo is a very sad joke for the animals concerned.But as long as you have people who think it is just somewhere for them to take their children or grandchildren for an day out without thinking of the animals there is no hope.These animals in captivity are all part of the owners gravy train and they will no doubt regret being born before they die.”

“As a supporter of wildlife and zoo projects, this story concerns me greatly.
I have visited the "Zoo" mentioned above on two occasions with my sons and I find the prospect that they are now considering endangered species a joke!!!!
As a family we have visited many zoo's and wildlife parks over the years and these places take years to get it right and they are purely for conservation purposes now. I find that I can compare Noahs Ark to Chelsea FC!!! Just because you can afford to buy doesn't make you experts!!! When visiting most of the staff are school kids, remember this was a working dairy farm at one time and arable farm. Bringing tigers elephants and other large and endangered animals to this farm would be cruel and highly inapropriate. Why not stay as it is now, why not concentrate on conservation in this country and leave the endangered species to the professionals. It would be interesting to know if Bristol Zoo give their backing to this expansion, as they have been critasized over the years and they have been at it a lot longer than Old McDonald!!!!!
Where is the money going to come from , if he has money to spend then why not donate it to helping projects in the tigers homeland instead of caging them here just so he can pull in more visitors !!!! There is a honey bee crisis in this country but I dont see him rushing to their aid, same as the other british wildlife that is under threat. There must be other people out there who are concerned that the farm has overstepped the mark and they should be stopeed while its still in consultation. North Somerset should be ashamed that they haven't kicked this out or are they thinking of their pockets as well!!!!
Children should be educated on how to save these precious creatures and others, if they are that interested in education then they need to remove their Noahs Ark exhibition and the notion that dinosaurs lived on the ark!!!! The farm hould concentrate on educating children about farming and its methods , on how farming has changed and the impact on the world , promoting good food and how its grown and methods used, on the old styles and west country farming, on animals that have moulded our contryside and coasts. If he did this I think he would bring in a bigger visitor number and thus protect our british heritage instead of tryin to be the next Paignton Zoo, Colchester Zoo or Port Lympe wildlife park, THE EXPERTS!!!!”

“So the funny farm is going to have "a conservation building for teaching schools about local and global habitats and wildlife."

Since when has trying to palm off creationism as science, been classed as education?”
