点评:I must admit I am not educated in the ways of ethical sanctuaries and should have read more before visiting but I assumed our tour guide would only promote ethical tours.
While Kerchor didn’t practice some of the more abhorrent practices such as riding etc, they do encourage human interactions such and allow feeding and touching (which are against true ethical sanctuary practices). I could see subtle coercing of the animals (water spraying, hugs etc).
I’ll admit, I’m saddened (and disappointed with myself) that I didn’t know more before visiting. This review is to educate others so they may support/visit ethical sanctuaries only. I certainly won’t be posting any pictures and feel quite saddened that I didn’t educate myself ahead of time.
I’m also disappointed with my tour guide who offered this ‘attraction’.
翻译:我必须承认,我对符合伦理的动物保护区并不了解,应该在参观前多做些功课,但我以为我们的导游只会推荐符合伦理的旅游项目。
虽然克尔乔尔动物保护区没有采用一些令人发指的做法,比如骑乘等等,但他们鼓励人与动物互动,允许喂食和触摸(这违背了真正的符合伦理的动物保护区原则)。我甚至看到了一些对动物的轻微胁迫(比如喷水、拥抱等等)。
说实话,我很遗憾(也很失望)自己事先了解得不够多。写这篇评论是为了让其他人了解情况,以便他们能够只支持/参观符合伦理的动物保护区。我肯定不会发布任何照片,也为自己没有提前做好功课而感到非常难过。
我也对我的导游感到失望,是他推荐了这个“景点”。
