A zoo's application for a new licence has been turned down after almost 500 animals died within four years.
The 486 deaths of animals at South Lakes Safari Zoo in Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria, between January 2013 and September 2016, were detailed in a report prepared by officers at Barrow Borough Council. A keeper was also killed by a tiger.
When the founder of the zoo, David Gill, applied to renew the licence for the zoo, it was rejected by the Barrow Borough Council.
