Chester Zoo Fire

[Dawn]

A Devastating Fire broke out on Saturday Morning and Destroyed a lot of the Monsoon Forest Exhibition which is the Home of my Beautiful favourites the Silvery Gibbons Tilu , Alven , Eko and their little Baby , Thankfully they managed to save all the Silvery Gibbons , The Sumatran Orangutans ,Sulawesi macaques and rhinoceros hornbills. and many of the other species that are also homed in there but unfortunately they tragically lost some small birds, fish , frogs and insects  .. They are hoping some of the Birds flew out of the Roof because they are Free Flight Birds 

The quickness of the staff and the Fire crew was amazing to get as many animals out as quick as they could or it could of been far far a lot worse

I have been going to this Zoo since I was 2 years old and will continue to support it for the rest of my life

Hopefully you can see and watch this … this is from Granada Reports , it shows the damage the fire caused and due to the support of the public wanting to help they set up a go fund page with outstanding results … they have been criticized for setting this up but it wasn't their idea it was the demand of the public wanting to help to why they started it

Despite the tragedy, at least there was some form of relief.

I suppose Kyng would probably be aware of this also (as I know he's from Chester also).

Yep, it's very sad indeed - especially with the animals that couldn't be saved .

Glad to see so many people coming together to aid them, though.
