... And the beast that nobody loves

Article Abstract:

The UK's zoos are currently generating income of almost 1 million pounds sterling a year through schemes which allow members of the general public and businesses to sponsor individual animals. Such schemes are now operated by 46 zoos. The Sumatran tiger has proved the most popular animal for adoption, with the most expensive being the Asian elephant at London Zoo, which costs 6,000 pounds sterling a year to sponsor. Some animal rights groups are opposed to sponsoring animals, as they see this as merely extending the precarious existence of zoos.

Far-right returns with a violence agenda

Article Abstract:

Racially-inspired violence has served to boost support for the British National Party (BNP) in the Isle of Dogs region of London, England. The party is seeking to derive maximum benefit from these incidents, moving away from its previously negative image. However, there are clear indications that race relations on the Isle of Dogs are improving. Some observers believe that the BNP will not be successful in local elections because the ethnic community is now becoming more politically active.
