What does this have to do with Portugal? It's called the Portugal news. I don't care if they're allowed elephants or a T Rex in Holland. Get it right whoever wrote this stupid article...

The article is probably aimed at Dutch people living in Portugal, who own elephants and T-Rex's, and may be thinking of returning with them to the Netherlands.
