I've
been
left
with
a
bitter
taste
in
my
mouth
after
visiting
this
park
because
I
haven't
been
convinced
that
the
animals
kept
here
are
being
given
enough
living
space
and
care.
Some
animals
don't
have
a
companion
to
share
their
life
with.
Many,
if
not
all,
species
of
bird
don't
have
enough
space
to
fly.
Other
cages,
instead,
are
crowded
to
such
an
extent
that
the
animals
could
be
overheard
ferociously
fighting
with
one
another
several
times
in
a
couple
hours.
Bees
and
wasps
plague
the
place.
They
feast
over
the
food
that
should
be
destined
to
the
animals
kept
in
the
cage,
and
are
a
danger
for
animals
and
visitors
alike.
A
young
child
was
stung
in
front
of
me
during
my
visit.
A
large
majority
of
the
animals
purposely
take
shelter
in
the
most
remote
corner
of
their
small
cages,
showing
clear
signs
of
being
stressed
by
the
human
visitors
being
allowed
to
approach
their
"homes"
at
such
close
distance.
All
in
all,
it
feels
like
there
are
way
too
many
animal
species
for
this
small
place.
This,
together
with
the
long
opening
hours,
the
small
cages
and
other
small
details,
leave
the
distinctive
impression
that
the
entire
focus
of
this
park
is
on
pleasing
the
visitors
instead
of
the
animal
guests.
Even
after
looking
at
the
website,
it's
mostly
unclear
what
is
being
done
to
concretely
support
reintroduction
of
animals
to
their
native
environment.
This
is
particularly
concerning
for
those
species
advertised
as
being
endangered
by
human
activity.
It
would
be
helpful
to
clearly
explain
how
this
animal
park
fits
the
bigger
picture
of
animal
conservation
and
also
justify
at
an
individual
level
the
presence
of
each
and
every
animal
in
this
park:
why
they
are
here?
where
do
they
come
from?
Are
there
plans
to
reintroduce
them
in
nature?
If
no,
why?
What
are
the
plans
for
improving
their
quality
of
life?
Being
honest
about
current
limitations
would
also
help
showing
visitors
that
the
well-being
of
the
animals
is
kept
in
high
regard
even
when
practical
reasons
might
require
some
temporary
compromise
for
a
short
while.
