Popular Post KentVillan Posted December 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Cut them some slack tbf, probably been fed pure nonsense about what they were actually doing... "we're a wildlife sanctuary that looks after sick animals that can't go back out into the wild". Travellers get caught in this all time. Elephant sanctuaries, turtle sanctuaries, bla bla, which are just a cash cow. Be good if they come out and apologise for it at some point, though.

No. In that case why do they have to walk around with it for pictures? **** the lot of them words removed. They knew exactly what was going on.

If you can go to a zoo, look at the animals and genuinely tell me they look happy, healthy and well cared for then I'll be very surprised. Just because they aren't drugged up and paraded around doesn't mean it isn't still animal cruelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Private zoos in the UAE are especially evil. It's actually illegal in Dubai, but the law isn't really enacted on the big influencers. Whilst not naming the private zoo in questions, a lot of the animals you see are products of interbreeding in captivity, and many animals have genetic markers and defects you would not get in the wild.

Genetic diversity of wildcats is dogshit anyway. Especially lions and tigers. That being said its probably doped up off its rocker to be even remotely safe. Pretty disgusting.

Yeah this is the big problem. That lion is off its tits, and doesn't look remotely healthy. I'm all for anyone who thinks they're a big man walking a lion to have a go trying to subdue one in the wild, and see how these words removed get on.

There are zoos like Chester Zoo who are more about conservation and genuine education which helps preserve endangered animals. A “private” zoo and using animals for gain doing this sort of shit is another matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A “private” zoo and using animals for gain doing this sort of shit is another matter. I agree, I hate zoos and have done since I was a kid. But modern zoos do a lot for conservation and protection of endangered species. There’s a completely different concept and philosophy than at private zoos which are abhorrent. Vilifying the players in the photos, whilst an understandable reaction, won’t make a great deal of difference to them or the zoos. Perhaps educating them and encouraging them to speak out against the private zoos in the future could be much more productive in bringing to an end this awful trade. Maybe evened the club could get involved give our strong association with lions. Part of the pride? Edited December 12, 2022 by DaveAV1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
