A zoo in England is facing calls to close down after it was revealed that nearly 500 animals died in its care in between December 2013 and September 2016. The South Lakes Safari Zoo, home to over 1,500 animals, has a death rate of 12% animals a year. Zoo inspectors said they found "significant problems" including overcrowding and poor hygiene.
