点评:We went to TOS when the weather was too chilly to do anything else. To our surprise it was an incredible experience. There was only a few minutes between the different shows so no boring down time. Best of all the animals seemed happy and well treated. We had visited the Turtle Hospital in the Keys and see that the rescued turtles at TOS are treated with the same care and the size of the enclosures are similar. The sea lions and dolphins seem very happy. No zoo , even the world class ones , can offer the same space, as animals have in the wild. In many cases however animals in these facilities live much longer and are free of disease and predation.
I was concerned about the Trip Advisor animal welfare warning but suspect it is a blanket commentary on animal shows.
The staff were extremely knowledgeable and approachable. It was a fun time.
翻译:当天气太冷而无法做其他事情时,我们去了 TOS。令我们惊讶的是,这是一次令人难以置信的体验。不同的表演之间只有几分钟的间隔,所以没有无聊的休息时间。最重要的是,动物们看起来很开心,也得到了很好的照顾。我们参观了 Keys 的海龟医院,发现 TOS 救出的海龟得到了同样的照顾,围栏的大小也差不多。海狮和海豚看起来很开心。没有动物园,即使是世界级的动物园,能提供与野生动物相同的空间。然而,在许多情况下,这些设施中的动物活得更长,没有疾病和掠食。
我对 Trip Advisor 的动物福利警告感到担忧,但怀疑这是对动物表演的笼统评论。
工作人员知识渊博,平易近人。这是一段有趣的时光。
