I’ve just seen a FB post by the owners complaining about a Daily Fail article that says they’re threatening to kill all their animals.
Link to the BBC article here www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-52770101
I know we’re a long way from the Tiger King, but this place has been on its last legs for years and still was given a licence to get lions after they strangled a lynx and allowed another one to escape resulting in it being shot.
It was closed in January because they didn’t have enough people with a firearms licence on site (despite now having lions).
There have been constant requests for free labour and money from the public since they opened. I actually saw the original post when it first came out, and it did feel like they were threatening to euthanise the animals if money wasn’t forthcoming.
I can’t imagine a proper zoo putting out a marketing campaign saying “Sponsor our elephant or we’ll have to put him down ”
It’s time to end this hobby zoo and give those animals a chance to be looked after properly. They probably do genuinely care about the animals and want it to work, but it’s not enough. They don’t have the money or the know how to do what needs doing.
AIBU to think that it should be closed or turned into a small animal sanctuary with no exotic or large animals involved?
