January 2012

AN anarchist group has claimed responsibility for the damage caused to the Bristol Zoo Gardens on New Year's Day.

In a note posted online, the anonymous group admitted targeting the front entrance, smashing windows and daubing "liberate" in graffiti on an adjacent wall.

In their comment, the activists accused the zoo of cruelty and exploitation and committed to further action in 2013.

Bristol Zoo Gardens, which has remained open since the attack, defended its conservation work.

The police say they are still investigating the vandalism.
