Port Lymph was owned by the late John Aspinall.

John.

John,
I think Aspinall started out with good intentions, but the thought that if you "own" something, you know what to do with it, kind of got out of hand. I think a lot of the questionable thing he did at the end, were only because he could, and nobody was going to tell him what to do.

There was a male Sumatran rhino from one of John Aspinall's zoos which was repatriated to Indonesia, and was something of a celebrity there. Maybe it was this one.
