点评:A little over a week ago, I visited the Slakki Petting Zoo in Selfoss with my husband, my 3-year-old daughter, and another couple with a child of the same age. I had no idea what I was walking into, and I deeply regretted buying the tickets.
To begin with, all the animals live in tiny spaces where the lack of proper feeding and hygiene is taken to the extreme. In the parrot cage, we saw a field mouse—which clearly wasn't part of the zoo's collection—eating their food right inside the cage, without a single staff member noticing. The minuscule enclosure housing two small pigs was covered in feces; when one of them tried to drink water from its bowl, it only found a small puddle of yellowish water that looked like urine or highly contaminated water, and the pig ultimately walked away without drinking. The open turtle terrarium had its food container right next to it, completely within reach of all visitors.
We then moved to an area with rabbits and guinea pigs meant for holding. The animals were passed from hand to hand, and the staff did nothing more than take them in and out of their cages/enclosures, without supervising how the visitors were handling them. As for the fish tanks, both were extremely dirty and also filled with waste. Two puppies were kept in a very small enclosure with a staff member, barking and running around in circles. Overall, the animals looked unhealthy and dirty. Unfortunately, I didn't take photos of what I saw, but I would be surprised if I were the only person reporting such a deplorable situation at this place.
On top of all this, there were dangerous loose wires, rusted objects everywhere, and even a jug of flammable material within reach of the children.
I must repeat that I deeply regret this visit.
翻译:一周多前,我和丈夫带着三岁的女儿,以及另一对带着同龄孩子的夫妇,去了位于塞尔福斯的斯拉基宠物动物园。我完全没想到会看到这样的景象,买了票之后真是后悔莫及。
首先,所有动物都生活在极其狭小的空间里,食物和卫生状况都差得令人难以置信。在鹦鹉笼里,我们看到一只田鼠——显然不是动物园的动物——就在笼子里吃东西,竟然没有一个工作人员注意到。两只小猪的狭小笼子里到处都是粪便;其中一只猪想喝水,却只喝到一小滩看起来像尿液或严重污染的水,最后只好走开了,没喝水。开放式的乌龟饲养箱里,食物容器就放在旁边,所有游客都能轻易拿到。
之后,我们去了兔子和豚鼠的抱抱区。动物们被随意地在人与人之间传递,工作人员只是把它们放进笼子/围栏里,并没有监督游客如何对待它们。至于鱼缸,两个都极其肮脏,里面堆满了粪便。两只小狗被关在一个非常小的围栏里,只有一个工作人员在旁边,它们不停地吠叫和绕圈跑。总的来说,这些动物看起来既不健康又脏乱。很遗憾,我没有拍下照片,但我相信肯定不止我一个人在这里看到了如此糟糕的情况。
更糟糕的是,到处都是危险的裸露电线、生锈的物品,甚至还有一罐易燃物放在孩子们够得着的地方。
我必须再次强调,我对这次参观深感后悔。
