点评:I don't usually bother writing reviews on bad experiences, but this park needs some serious attention for the welfare of the animals.
I don't know who is running the zoo but they desperately need more staff. I only saw one zoo keeper the whole day and she looked like she was absolutely swept off her feet bless her. The only other zoo staff my group saw was (I assume) a more senior member of staff zooming about on a golf cart ON HER PHONE in a pedestrianized area shouting at guests to get out of the way (so parents, keep a close eye on your kids!).
While we were there we noticed unlocked animal enclosures (padlocks left unlocked on gates) and animals with no heating in their enclosures and no bedding. This wasn't the zoo keepers fault as like I say she was so busy trying to look after every single animal by herself that mistakes are bound to be made.
Also we were told that all zookeeper and animal experiences were unavailable (over Christmas... god knows how much money they're losing!) due to lack of trained zoo staff. The management seriously need to look at how this place is run because it's not fair on the few staff that do work there, and it's especially not fair on the poor animals.
翻译:我通常不会写差评,但这家动物园的动物福利实在令人担忧,需要认真对待。
我不知道是谁在管理这家动物园,但他们急需更多员工。我一整天只看到一位饲养员,她看起来忙得不可开交,真是可怜。我们一行人看到的唯一其他工作人员(我猜)是一位资历更深的,她开着高尔夫球车在步行区里飞驰,一边玩手机一边大声呵斥游客让路(所以家长们,一定要看好自己的孩子!)。
我们在那里的时候注意到一些动物笼舍没有上锁(大门上的挂锁没锁),而且动物的笼舍里没有暖气和垫料。这并非饲养员的错,正如我所说,她一个人忙着照顾所有动物,难免会出错。
我们还被告知,由于缺乏训练有素的动物园工作人员,所有饲养员和动物互动体验项目都暂停开放(圣诞节期间……天知道他们损失了多少钱!)。管理层真的需要好好反思一下动物园的运营方式,因为这对少数仍在工作的员工不公平,对可怜的动物们更不公平。
