Wow... so I guess your list of all the worst zoo exhibits you've seen isn't entirely filled with US zoos anymore, is it? I can understand that zoos in other parts of the world are going to be vastly different just due to the cultural differences at play, but some things are simply unacceptable regardless of what country they occur in.
@Neil chace So far, Thailand has revealed itself to have some big, excellent zoos, but also some deplorable cages that are as bad or worse than what I have seen in the USA. Very sad.
@Lori Patton This place even had some new, shiny Asiatic Black Bear cages that the workers seemed quite proud of…and the enclosures are the same size as the old ones!! It’s truly baffling, as this facility is located deep in the Thailand jungle and has metal cages in a gorgeous setting. I don’t understand it at all. The Marbled Cat, incredibly rare, was the highlight.
