点评:I was appalled with the Gulf Breeze Zoo. The animals lack enrichment activities in their enclosures, the enclosures are extremely small, and the animals spend their begging for food from visitors. The four lioness sharing a small space had a small dirt enclosure that did not resemble their natural environment. I saw one lioness that looked emaciated. The giraffes area was not any better, with only a hot metal shed for shade.
This zoo is focused on visitors purchasing food to feed the animals, explained as animal encounters. What people see is animals who beg for food and do not know how to behave as normal animals.
The Gulf Breeze Zoo is no longer AZA accredited. The zoo says it is ZAA accredited, which has much looser and lower standards.
I do not recommend Gulf Breeze Zoo to anyone, it is expensive and does not treat the animals with respect.

翻译:我对海湾微风动物园感到非常震惊。动物们的生活环境极其恶劣:没有任何能刺激其天性的活动设施,围栏也小得可怜,它们只能整日向游客乞讨食物。四只母狮被关在同一个狭小的泥地围栏里,那里完全不符合它们的自然生存环境。我看到其中一只母狮瘦得皮包骨。长颈鹿区的情况也差不多,只有一间闷热不堪的铁皮棚屋供它们遮阳。这家动物园鼓励游客购买食物来喂动物,并将其称作“与动物互动体验”。人们所看到的只是那些乞求食物、完全不具备正常动物行为方式的动物。
海湾 breeze动物园已不再获得AZA的认证。该动物园称自己获得了ZAA认证,但后者的标准宽松得多且要求也低得多。
我不向任何人推荐海湾 breeze动物园——那里收费昂贵,而且对动物缺乏应有的尊重。
