Anthony Bush is the proprietor of NAZF and is the driving force behind the creationist message at the zoo. Here are some quotes from Mr Bush:
- "You come to a zoo because you want to go to a zoo, but while you are there you might have questions you want answers to. That is why we do not want to publicise the whole creationism debate, because people have pre-conceptions. We are reluctant to publicise that we are Christians. If people knew that, they would make their minds up before they came.
Other zoos say that apes are our closest relatives. But we are unique. We are made in the image of God. That is what needs to be taught in schools." See article. - "From the outside, our farm is not overtly Christian. But, from the inside, we are very strongly Christian. I am a Creationist, and we see the farm as a mission station to give people scientific permission to believe in God". See article.
- "When freedom is offered, or at least attempted to be offered, one person may decide to kill or rape another. Men will go off the idea of marrying and having sex with women, because it is too much effort understanding the differences, so have sex with each other, or with young boys or girls, whom they can control, they think".
This came from an email from Mr Bush in response to being asked why he would not be open about the creationist agenda at NAZF.
