They were more than allegations as it actually happened.

This 'zoo' was really not worth the price they charge in admission.

Gross. I'd never give this place a penny. I would donate for the animals to live peacefully on a reserve though.

He's clearly a psycho. If that's the kind of stuff he's willing to do in front of people, can you imagine what he does out of sight?

I've been there, many years ago. It's shocking to see what was going on behind the scenes there. How hard is it to believe that people would just go to a place with animals. Why torture them into performing?

Shame on them for abusing animals! I'm glad they are closing. I hope the animals can go to a much better place where they are treated with kindness and respect.

Wouldn't pay to see abuse. Poor animals, hope they are moved to better homes and treated well.

Thread should be closed.

Are you implying people are abusing animals as they are replying to posts in this thread?

We went to this zoo prior to the animal abuse news coming out and all I can say is that I wouldn't call it a zoo...the animals look decrepit and just not taken care of very well, their pens were very small, they advertised animals at their gate that when you go inside they're non-existent, more of a glorified petting zoo as you can easily finish it within 30 minutes max..

This place should have been out of business ages ago from what I saw and taking into consideration the animal abuse it doesn't surprise me how terrible some of their animals looked, kind of makes sense now..
