Two big fish battling for one small pond
Article Abstract:
Chester Zoo has enjoyed a strong rise in visitor numbers over recent weeks following the birth of a baby Asiatic elephant, only the second Asiatic elephant to have survived the first four weeks of life in a British zoo. However, the zoo is set to see strong competition as Deep Sea World plans to build a very large aquarium at nearby Ellesmere Port. There are fears that a fall in visitor numbers will badly affect breeding programmes at Chester Zoo, which is the largest urban zoo in Europe and plays a key role in captive breeding of rare and endangered animals.

Smack the child, praise the Lord!
Article Abstract:
Considerable controversy has arisen in the US over the methods recommended by Gary and Ann Marie Ezzo for instilling discipline into even very small children. These methods include smacking toddlers with a plastic spatula and leaving even six-month-olds alone for up to 30 minutes, twice a day. The Ezzos have split evangelical Christians, and their former church has distanced itself from their programme. Some observers in the UK, where the programme is to be launched shortly, claim that it amounts to babies being physically and emotionally neglected.
