    The Australia Zoo can't close! It just can't. That would be horrible. All of steves hard work and dedication would fly out the door and be gone. What would happen to all the animals there?About the rattlesnake round up.....LOL...EDUCATION??!! Seriously? "It's not about killing them it's about education". Damn, those people are stupid..plus I live in Texas so I'm even more ashamed about it. Not killed in front of the public? Another load of crap. They are all killed in front of the public. Decapitated, gutted, and skinned in front of the public. They even milk them and say that the venom gets turned into anti-venin. It doesn't. The conditons they do it in are very un sanitary and the venom is useless.

    Complete bull crap. Thanks for the video.

    The australia zoo is in debt, but so far all the official response to the rumors (mostly put forth by former employees who were recently laid off, because of finances) have been that there is no way that the Australia Zoo is closing.

    It would be really sad if it did close, but I'm glad I was lucky enough to see it couple years ago.

    Re: Reptile News: Australia Zoo closing?

    For some reason I am not getting emails of reply's hmmmm. Anyway I did update the story with Tris statement made yesterday. The zoo was being sued for 3 million dollars and being investigated for tax evasion 3 years ago so it tends to support the "crippled by debt" claims of the employees. I hope they can pull out of it though, I would love to go there some day.
