Animal sanctuary to close
Franklin Zoo, the sanctuary for unwanted animals, is
being forced to close.
The sanctuary was set up and run by vet Helen Schofield until she
was killed while tending to Mila, an African elephant.
Helen's sister Jenny Chung, who has been been running the zoo since
Schofield was accidentally killed, was desperate to raise money to
send Mila to a new home and keep the zoo running.
Matt Chisholm follows up.
And Chung, who had promised to complete Schofield's legacy, speaks
to Close Up from Franklin Zoo.

us aren't willing to accept that.
There's been a lot of talk about fat this week and there has even
been a conference on it in the capital.
Matt McLean went to find out what prompted the man with the
doctorate on weight to think big.
NZ's co-op capital
The capital city of co-ops in New Zealand is
Ashburton.
Co-ops are so pervasive in Ashburton that they have become
mainstream and there is even an electricity co-operative.
