点评:I expected for this to be a pleasant excursion with the family. I was instead shocked and depressed at the state of the animals, the majority of which showed many signs of stress/boredom/apathy (including strange repetitive motions; for example: one of the elephants shaking its trunk back and forth, back and forth, endlessly). You can visit for a whole day without seeing interpretation personnel, or anyone in the act of caring for the animals. The rhino indoor enclosure (where the rhinos stay in the winter, and where were females spent the whole day during my visit) was particularly drab and shocking.
If Grandby Zoo aims to increase public awareness about the importance of wildlife by having visitors watch them suffer, then it has succeeded. I can no longer support exotic animals in captivity.
I cannot recommend a visit to this place if you care about animals.
翻译:我原以为这会是一次愉快的家庭之旅。结果,动物们的状况却让我震惊又沮丧,它们大多表现出压力/无聊/冷漠的迹象(包括奇怪的重复动作;例如:其中一头大象不停地来回摇晃鼻子)。你可以参观一整天,却看不到解说人员,也看不到任何照顾动物的人。犀牛室内围栏(犀牛冬天住在那里,我参观期间雌犀牛一整天都待在那里)尤其单调乏味,令人震惊。
如果格兰比动物园的初衷是通过让游客观看野生动物的痛苦来提高公众对野生动物重要性的认识,那么它已经成功了。我再也无法支持圈养外来动物了。
如果你关心动物,我不推荐你来这里参观。
