Zoo urged to close after lynx deaths

A Welsh zoo is facing calls to close after it emerged a second lynx was accidentally asphyxiated within days of the shooting and killing of Lillith the lynx, who escaped from her enclosure.

Borth Wild Animal Kingdom near Aberyswyth in west Wales has been criticised for having “no understanding of wild animal behaviour or welfare needs”.

The Lynx UK Trust said a second cat had died after keepers at the zoo tried to move it to another enclosure using a dog noose.
