Don't get me wrong, some of the enclosures are OK. for example the panda's seem relatively happy in their concrete enclosures munching away on bamboo shoots. And they did have at least one big cat enclosure that looked OK (as you can see below),but the problem is that they have 1 decent enclosure for big cats, but about 10 cats; tigers, lions and a leopard. So it seems they only let one cat out at a time. The others are kept in a viewing hall that looks like the sheep exhibit at the royal Easter show, except the sheep are in bigger pens. Most of the cats could barely move in the their cells, most if not all had hunched backs from the the lack of movement, and when looking into their eyes, only the hardest of hearts could not feel their pain.
Naturally like all zoo's, this one was filled to the brim with knob heads, that don't care about the conditions, they just want the perfect photo of the beast... hence they scream out, yell, bang the bars with bottles to get the animals attention. It was f*cked in the worst possible way.
At one point I was actually praying to the god of lions, that the guy who was laughing as he ran his bottle across the bars would slip and his arm would fall between the bars and the Lion would have at least one moment of joy in his horrible existence by ripping the pricks arm off. If it had happened I would have burst out laughing, and taken hundreds of photo's of the prick bleeding to death.
So, now that you know how I really feel, i have included some photo's below of animals that looked mildly happy. However, I even feel guilty showing these because I feel like I have made those animals life worse by taking part in that horrible display.
