The NHS guidance states that lower risk of cancer is one of the long term benefits of drinking less alcohol. The agency does not explicitly state that moderate drinking can be safe and warns on its website about cancer risks associated with alcohol consumption.

Controversial 'Worst Zoo' in Britain Announces Closure Amidst Animal Cruelty AllegationsZoo South Lakes Safari in Cumbria, previously dubbed the 'worst zoo' due to numerous animal deaths and incidents, is shutting its doors after fresh allegations of animal cruelty surfaced. The zoo faced public outcry for past tragedies like animals being hit by miniature trains and electrocuted by fence wires. In 2017, a zookeeper was mauled by a tiger, leading to a £255,000 fine and a new license with conditions that included the owner severing ties with the operation. However, new controversy erupted in October with harrowing images of dead and injured animals circulating online. Incidents included a capybara riddled with injuries from fighting and a zebra suffering severe injuries after its hoof got stuck in a cage, forcing its euthanasia.

Following the unexpected closure announcement, conservation groups welcomed the decision but demanded guarantees that all animals will be transferred to suitable and well-maintained sanctuaries.
