Edinburgh Zoo

I wonder if Edinburgh had relocated their Cape Hunting Dog's, and moved Mercedes if the public "perception" would have been more favorable to having Polar Bears at the zoo? Or did Edinburgh get out from under something, much as Prince Albert did in his donation of the leopards to Born Free. Or did they just find temporary relief from the "public perception," permitting them in a short time to "perceive", why don't you get rid of that animal also?
