South of the Border的点评
点评：I’m relatively new to the area, live in NC a few hours from this place. We decided to take a short road trip to check it out on a rainy weekend. I could see what it once was, years ago it must have been a great stop for travelers but now it seems to be just hanging on. The gift shops are well stocked, priced about what you would expect for a tourist trap and the employees were friendly.
My complaint is the reptile exhibit. I found it to be heartbreaking. Alligators, crocs and caymans live in swampy places full of vegetation. These animals are on sand and concrete with small pools and heat lamps. There is no room for much exercise or movement and zero stimulation otherwise. This is cruelty and I know many of them have lived this way for years. Even the tortoises only have sand and concrete. The animals are obviously fed and their enclosures are clean, but that’s the only positive thing to say. I don’t believe the people who run this place mean them harm, but harm is happening. No animal should live this way.

翻译：我刚搬到这附近不久，住在北卡罗来纳州，离这里几个小时车程。在一个下雨的周末，我们决定开车短途旅行来看看。我能看出它曾经的辉煌，几年前这里肯定是旅行者们的热门目的地，但现在似乎只是勉强维持着。礼品店货品齐全，价格也符合旅游陷阱的预期，员工倒是挺友好的。
我最不满的是爬行动物展区。我觉得那里的景象令人心碎。鳄鱼、短吻鳄和凯门鳄生活在植被茂盛的沼泽地带，而这些动物却被安置在沙子和水泥地上，只有一些小水池和加热灯。它们几乎没有活动空间，也没有任何其他娱乐活动。这简直是虐待动物，而且我知道很多动物已经这样生活了很多年。就连陆龟也只有沙子和水泥地。动物们显然得到了喂养，它们的笼舍也很干净，但这大概是唯一值得称道的地方了。我不相信经营者是故意伤害它们的，但伤害确实存在。任何动物都不应该过这样的生活。
