Animals in this Zoo look so distressed, they do not have enough space, animals show signs of stereotypic behavior, abnormal behavior that has resulted from years of deprivation (Pacing, Head-bobbing, Neck-twisting, Bar-biting / sucking, Tongue-playing, Coprophagia, Over-grooming, Self-mutilation or abuse tail biting, leg chewing, head bashing, Circling etc )

What I want to know is...what kind of people actually PAY to go see animals treated in such a way. If folks would quit going, maybe they would shut this place down.
In my eyes, the people who pay to enter this zoo, are just as bad as the ones keeping the animals this way!
Talk about getting me "flaming" mad! Photos like these make you want to reach out and "touch" someone - HARD!
I would not even consider visiting a place such as this.
This is so unacceptable in every way!! I cannot look at any more than this! It angers me and literally makes me sick. Hell has a special place for those who treat any living thing in this manner.
Osiyo, I have never in my life saw such conditions as these.....I cry when I see how Creators own wonderful gifts he has given to us is being tortured and mistreated so badly.....what the hell is wrong with HUMANS! I can not understand people for the life of me. You would think with the brain power they have they would have the sense to take care of what we share the earth with. It breaks my heart to know such Jackasses can have these animals in such a terrible state and condition...I would love the keys to that place. put whomever is encharge of this horrible place in those teeny tiny places and lock them up and throw away the keys!

PS. I have never been so pissed off in my life!
I have to say that I saw this horrific conditions with my own eyes- and I have to say that it looks worst than these photos can show! Those Animals are in very bad conditions and they act very strange, it is so seeable that they suffer and that they are mentaly ill. Help is needed badly, and we are counting on good people around the world to help these poor Animals. They are held like hostages there, and they need to be saved fast!!!

Please do not treat these animals like this?
How cruel and inhumane for these poor innocent animals to be kept in these tiny cages? We are here to nuture and protect these animlas, not to abuse them, torture them, or kill them. No human would like to be caged like this and treated cruelly and barbarically. These practices must stop.

this is sick!how can people look at these poor living creatures and od nothing?these animals deserve better.the people who put them there should in their place!!
If you have any goodness in your heart.........build them a santuary suited for them; give them to a place that can provide a decent shelter; or let them go to natural homes. What the &^%%(*%&*%$# is wrong with you people?!?
