Description
Continuation of the list of animals available for purchase at The Scottish Zoo auction. The diverse variety of animals on sale and the descriptions which accompany them are indicative of not only the ambitious nature of the zoo when it was in operation but also the practices it engaged in for entertainment purposes, some of which are problematic from a contemporary viewpoint. The Boomer Kangaroo on sale, for example, is described as having been trained to box, suggesting that the zoo did not conform to particularly high animal welfare standards.
