Goebbert's Farm - South Barrington的点评
点评:We came to Goebbert's Farm expecting a fun time at an apple orchard, but were instead shocked by what we found. The animals were in appalling conditions, kept in tiny cages with no access to fresh water or proper food. The most heartbreaking sight was a camel with a drooped hump, which we later learned is a sign of severe malnourishment and dehydration. The animals seem deliberately deprived of basic necessities so they'll interact with visitors offering them food. It's a disturbing setup that made us feel sick to our stomachs. We left feeling complicit in something deeply wrong. I can't in good conscience recommend anyone visit this place.
I have included images of the giraffes enclosure, which is smaller than most Chicago apartments, zebras and camels with no space, and kangaroos in a small cage surrounded by people.
I commented about my concerns on their instagram and was blocked.
翻译:我们来到 Goebbert 农场,原本以为可以在苹果园度过一段愉快的时光,但结果却让我们大吃一惊。动物们的生存条件非常恶劣,被关在狭小的笼子里,无法获得淡水或适当的食物。最令人心碎的是骆驼驼峰下垂,我们后来才知道这是严重营养不良和脱水的迹象。这些动物似乎被故意剥夺了基本生活必需品,这样它们就会与给它们提供食物的游客互动。这种令人不安的设置让我们感到恶心。我们离开时感觉自己参与了一件非常错误的事情。我不能凭良心推荐任何人来这个地方。
我附上了长颈鹿围栏的图片,它比大多数芝加哥公寓都要小,还有没有空间的斑马和骆驼,以及被人们围在小笼子里的袋鼠。
我在他们的 Instagram 上评论了我的担忧,结果被屏蔽了。
