Fun for family, not so much for animals inside
Critter Country Exotic Animals的点评
点评:There are a lot of animals to see for basically being in someone’s large backyard. As has been mentioned previously, the cattle seemed to have ample space but the smaller animals and the carnivores were in dismally small dirt enclosures with little to no enrichment for them. The ponies had areas on their hooves where the flies had burrowed into their flesh and created holes (fly strike). Several sheep had not been shorn in some time, and in the middle of July, looked miserable.
I will say that the staff and owner were very friendly towards visitors, but if they’re going to charge admission to see animals and make a living from them, they need to take better care of the animals and provide them adequate space. Otherwise it’s just a case of profiting from animal cruelty.
I usually hesitate to go to privately owned “zoos” for this reason. I will not go again because I do not want to subsidize maltreatment of animals.
翻译:基本上在某个人的大后院里就有很多动物可以看。正如前面提到的,牛似乎有足够的空间,但较小的动物和食肉动物却生活在极其狭小的泥土围栏中,几乎没有任何富集空间。小马的蹄子上有苍蝇钻入肉中并形成洞的区域(苍蝇袭击)。有几只羊已经有一段时间没有剪毛了,七月中旬的时候,看上去很惨。
我想说的是,工作人员和主人对游客非常友好,但如果他们要收取入场费来观看动物并以它们为生,他们需要更好地照顾动物并为它们提供足够的空间。否则,这只是一个通过虐待动物来获利的案例。
由于这个原因,我通常不愿意去私人“动物园”。我不会再去了,因为我不想资助虐待动物。
