EDITORS COMMENTS
Exmouth Zoo: A Bittersweet Farewell to a Beloved Haven for Wildlife In this poignant capture from December 22nd, 1977, we witness the final days of Exmouth Zoo, once a cherished sanctuary for both animals and visitors alike. The zoo's closure was an unfortunate consequence of council orders that deemed the living conditions too cramped for its inhabitants. Despite plans for expansion being denied by the council, the dedicated keepers did everything in their power to ensure over 200 animals found new homes or were compassionately put down. Amidst this heartbreaking turn of events, we see Kelsay Smith, daughter of the zoo owners, sharing a tender moment with a young visitor as they marvel at a baby crocodile. Her smile reflects not only her genuine love for these creatures but also serves as a testament to the resilience and unwavering dedication shown by those who cared deeply about their well-being. This evocative image encapsulates both joy and sorrow - capturing memories from an era when zoos were evolving and facing challenges regarding animal welfare. It reminds us of our responsibility towards creating habitats that prioritize comfort and freedom for all living beings. As we look back on Exmouth Zoo's legacy through this photograph, it serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity and heartache, there are moments worth cherishing – moments where connections between humans and wildlife transcend boundaries.
