Last year, the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs said zoos and aquariums would face a two-year timeline to adapt to the changes, which include requiring larger habitats, improved conservation standards and safety measures.
“The future requirements just seem overwhelming for what we have,” Goymour told BBC Radio Norfolk’s Kayleigh Poacher.
“We have, over recent years, reduced the amount of our exotic stock… we have guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, snakes, pigs, invertebrates, and the giant tortoise.”
“Unlike zoos, the animals are not the main purpose for their visit, so that’s what really concluded the decision.”
