Thankfully the definition of “right next to a zoo” is actually a quarter of a mile away – as some zoo animals would become highly stressed by amplified loud music (even if it is excellent heavy metal!).
There have been cases where zoo animals suffered and died as a result of human festivities for example in Sweden http://www.thelocal.se/11586/20080507/

Converge, a UK exclusive?! Grrr. I was hoping for them at Download.
Fingers crossed for a tour at some point.

PROTEST THE HERO! we are truly spoiled right now with their march uk tour coming up and this!
