点评:I visited Zakir Wildlife in Zanzibar and unfortunately left very upset and concerned about the treatment of the animals.
There was a monkey there with a large, clearly visible wound on her tail. What concerned me even more was her reaction to the handler. She appeared very scared of him, while at the same time she was extremely gentle and friendly with us. She willingly came to us, lay down, and allowed us to cuddle and interact with her. The contrast between how comfortable she was with visitors and how frightened she appeared around the handler was very disturbing to witness.
We asked the staff directly why the monkey was injured and why she was not receiving treatment. We did not receive a clear or convincing answer.
Afterwards, we contacted Zakir Wildlife through Instagram because we were genuinely concerned about her welfare. They told us that the monkey was at the vet.
It has now been about a month, and we have no clear information about what happened to her or whether she actually received proper treatment.
I sincerely hope she is alive, safe, and receiving veterinary care. However, the lack of transparency and the original condition of the animal are extremely concerning.
I am leaving this review because wildlife tourism should be about protecting and caring for animals, not simply allowing tourists to interact with them. If an animal has a serious visible wound, visitors deserve a clear explanation that appropriate veterinary care is being provided.
I strongly encourage anyone considering visiting to ask questions about the animals’ welfare and veterinary care before supporting this place.
翻译:我参观了桑给巴尔的扎基尔野生动物园,但离开时心情十分糟糕,因为对园内动物的待遇深感担忧。
那里有一只猴子,它的尾巴上有一处明显且较大的伤口。更让我担心的是它对饲养员的反应:它似乎非常害怕饲养员,但对我们却极其温顺友善。它主动朝我们走来,躺下身来,任由我们拥抱并与之互动。她面对访客时显得很自在,但一见到饲养员又显得十分恐惧,这种反差着实令人不安。
我们直接询问工作人员为何这只猴子受了伤,为何没有得到治疗。但我们没有得到清晰或令人信服的答复。
后来,由于我们真心关心它的健康状况,便通过Instagram联系了Zakir Wildlife。他们告诉我们,那只猴子正在兽医处接受治疗。
如今,大约一个月已经过去了。我们没有任何明确的信息可以说明她的情况如何,或者她是否得到了适当的治疗。
我真心希望她还活着、平安无恙,并且正在接受兽医照料。然而,信息的缺乏以及这只动物原本的健康状况实在令人担忧。
我写下这篇评论,是因为野生动物旅游的宗旨应当是保护和关爱动物,而不是仅仅让游客与它们互动。如果一只动物身上有明显的严重伤口,访客有权得到明确的说明,即动物们正在获得妥善的兽医护理。
我强烈建议任何有意参观的人,在支持该场所之前,先询问有关动物福利及兽医护理的相关情况。
