This beautiful wild animal in a tiny prison. I remember commenting about how horrible this and some other things were...general neglect. I remember there being a lack of water, the animals basic needs require water to be available at all times, for these reasons Im signing. I love animals and if you have a zoo, then make sure its clean and there is water for all at all times!

What look like friendly, cooperating animals are actually scared stiff, well beaten animals drugged up to their eyeballs hardly able to balance. Unruly animals are beaten with sticks out of view of the public. Chimps are routinely shot at with dustshot to get them to cooperate. Animals are traded in cramped boots of cars. The Zoo is good - the owner is bad, dangerous and greedy.

It must take a person with very little compassion or none at all and a very cold heart to expect a living creature to live their lives in those circumstances. Let that "person" try it for a month and see how it feels.

Animals can't be treated this way and they need our help !
I personally own land in the Heidelberg Mountains and I would love to take these animals away from him and care for them. I am a field guide ( Ranger ) in Botswana currently and I absolutely love wildlife and they should be allowed to roam free....
