点评:I visited the sanctuary today and am wholly unconvinced over the welfare of the turtles, or the motivations of the owners.
1 - The turtles had no enrichment within their holding tanks, and there was no evidence these turtles were under any sort of care regime prior to releasing.
2 - There was an absence of any sort of professional keeper of vet. The individual who showed us round offered some superficial knowledge , whilst being largely disinterested and distracted by his mobile phone and personal calls. His explanations of the treatment plan or release plan all felt a little insincere and largely rehearsed.
3 - The biggest concern; this sanctuary offers fertilised eggs for sale via it's website linked from Google. This is justified under the auspices of them being captive bred, which is totally irrelevant and contradictory to the sanctuaries mission.
I hope I am wrong on these opinions and the sanctuary has every opportunity to change them.
翻译:今天我参观了那个保护中心,但我对那里海龟的福利状况以及负责人的动机完全不信任。
1. 海龟们饲养池中没有任何能供它们活动的设施,也没有任何迹象表明这些海龟在被放生前接受过任何形式的照料。
2. 现场没有任何专业的饲养员或兽医。带我们参观的那个人虽然谈了一些相关知识,但都只是表面层面的东西而已。尽管他表面上在认真倾听,但实际上心不在焉,还一直被手机和个人电话所干扰。他对治疗方案或放归计划的解释也显得有些不真诚,更像是事先背好的台词。
3. 最令人担忧的一点:这家保护中心通过其谷歌链接的网站出售受精卵。他们以这些卵是人工饲养繁殖为由来为此举辩护,但这一理由完全毫无意义,且与该保护中心的宗旨背道而驰。我希望我的这些看法是错的,也希望该庇护所能有各种机会来改变它们。
