Unethical
experience!
We
were
taken
here
by
our
driver
during
our
tour
of
Loboc
and
we
wished
he
hadn’t
bothered.
We
were
informed
that
this
was
a
new
attraction
and
I
would
like
to
have
thought
that
this
meant
that
it
would
be
ethical
for
the
animals.
However,
the
animals
are
all
in
small
cages
and
often
by
themselves
in
the
most
basic
living
conditions.
The
Tarsiers
are
in
a
small
open
area
of
a
couple
of
trees
surrounded
by
footpath.
Considering
tarsiers
are
so
sensitive
to
loud
noises,
bright
light
and
physical
contact
it
was
so
sad
to
see
them
in
this
environment.
The
please
observe
silence
sign
was
clearly
not
enforced
with
a
child
crying
right
next
to
the
tarsiers
and
tourists
shoving
their
phones
and
cameras
inches
away
from
the
poor
tarsiers
faces.
It
was
such
a
sad
and
distressing
experience
and
I
can’t
imagine
this
being
the
animals
daily
routine
for
the
rest
of
their
lives.
It’s
a
shame
that
the
owners
didn’t
put
as
much
emphasis
on
creating
a
better
environment
for
the
animals
here
as
they
did
for
the
large
concrete
shoe
sculpture
and
the
huge
gift
shop.
It
clearly
shows
what
they
view
as
more
important.
Such
a
shame.
