West Country Casual Zookeeping

I am always excited when our undomesticated furry friends take control of their own destiny for a while, as in this story of Parker the tree climbing wolf. I gather that he's the Steve McQueen of the lupine world, as he's not too keen of captivity.

Mind you, the Mee Brothers, who run an unlicensed nature park in Devon, (which sounds like fun) don't appear to be too committed to the concept of animal enclosure.

One brother remarked of the animals outings: "I think they are unfortunate incidents. They do happen rather a lot generally"

These guys are in charge of TIGERS for Christ sake!

Mind you, when you consider how stoned the average West Country inhabitant is, they probably take these sightings in their stride. "Oh MAAN, check aht the Lion guy man, he's like totally Metro Goldwyn maan!"
