๐Ÿ“๐ŸŸก โ€œMost people donโ€™t visit zoos or aquariums with the intention of funding animal abuse. But the zoo industry has deliberately misled the public by rebranding itself as necessary for โ€˜conservationโ€™. They tell us their work protects animals who are endangered in the wild โ€“ but this couldnโ€™t be further from the truth.โ€ โ€“ Animal Aid ๐Ÿ“Œ "A legitimate sanctuary does not breed animals or use them for profit, and only takes animals that cannot be returned to the wild. They are either closed to the public or highly regulate access to their facility. It is based around the animals' needs, rather than attempting to balance the needs of the animals with those of human visitors." โ€“ Born Free ๐Ÿ“Œ โ€œAnimals have evolved over millennia to adapt to their natural habitat. Life in captivity differs substantially from life in the wild. Space, social interactions, diet, climate, human presence and many more aspects are completely different to what they would encounter in the wild. Rather than living safe and easy lives in captivity, animals may face challenges which evolution has not prepared them for. This can result in โ€˜zoochosisโ€™." โ€“ Born Free ๐Ÿ“Œ The issue of zoo animal welfare recently drew widespread public attention following the transfer of three Malaysian elephants, Dara, Amoi and Kelat, from Zoo Taiping & Night Safari to Osaka's Tennoji Zoo in March. The move sparked public concern, protests, and calls for them to be brought home. ๐Ÿ“Œ Concerns also centred on Tennoji Zooโ€™s elephant care history, including the case of Hiroko, an Asian elephant that spent years in isolation before dying in 2018, likely due to an untreated chronic foot-related disease. ๐Ÿ“Œ Meanwhile, PETA Asia has urged officials to relocate Dara, Amoi and Kelat to a reputable sanctuary, rather than another zoo. ๐Ÿงต1
