June 11, 1926

John Aspinall (June 11, 1926 to June 29, 2000) is commonly described as a gambler, but he made a fortune running gambling facilities in Great Britain, which is different than being a gambler.  With this money he opened two zoos (Howletts Zoo and Port Lynne Zoo), which are now open to the public.  In 1980 there were two incidents which were part of a string of sad incidents at the zoos. Brian Stocks and Bob Wilson were both handlers there who were killed by a female tiger (1980).  Her name was Zeya.  She was killed after the second death.  Aspinall had extreme right wing views, and was a friend of Lord Lucan.
