Zoo's "Cruelty"

As reported on China Press dated 3/5/2011 (The Star also reported on this matter on the same day), ACRES (a Singapore-based animal rights NGO) made a survey visit to 39 zoos in 2009, found that most of them is in a "Terrible" condition to the animals.


The most terrible finding is that an orang utan in Johor zoo, Shirley, is a smoker !!! Public is throwing cigarette butts to Shirley, hoping to see him smoking in front of them.Shirley has already addicted to smoking.She even asking the public for cigarettes.

The faults is in two parties, the zoo authority and the public.How could the authority never prevent the public from throwing the cigarette butts to Shirley?? There is no reason AT ALL that the authrity doesn't know about it!!!

Secondly,public should be blamed!!! As normal, as a human, when a parent is a smoker, they don't even will encourage their children to smoke.Then why they encourage Shirley??? Just because she is not your child???

I hope the authority should put some effort educating the public.

 

You can see how happy seeing Shirley's smoking !!
