rooster59 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Zoo animals are in ‘perfect condition’ officials say By The Phuket News Wildlife officials have confirmed that Phuket Zoo will file a formal request to close the tourist attraction, possibly only temporarily, blaming the economic situation caused by the COVID-19 fallout for the zoo’s inability to keep operating. Photo: Roma Neus / file PHUKET: Wildlife officials have claimed that all animals at the beleaguered Phuket Zoo are in “perfect condition” following an inspection visit to the site yesterday (Apr 17). Representatives from the Phuket Provincial Office of the Department of Livestock Development (DLD), Phuket Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office, Chief of the Khao Phra Thaew Non-Hunting Area Conservation Centre, Phuket wildlife officials and the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) visited the zoo yesterday following complaints filed with police at the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Division in Bangkok. Of paticular concern was a tiger who had been cited as “worryingly thin”.

nikmar Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 very very dubious. Makes you wonder if any info coming from the authorities has any truth to it. EG low infection / mortality numbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snackbar Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Have you been to Phuket Zoo recently? Much better than it was ten years ago. Hopefully the people complaining online will be accountable for publishing false and misleading information online. lots of hypocrites visited the Dolphin Bay Show adjacent to the zoo, before all this madness. It’s modern and looks clean but should these animals be put on show and made to perform to make money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 An orang utang and a baby elephant from this zoo died in recent years, allegedly through mis-treatment. I recall they tried to hide the ape from inspection by hiding it elsewhere on the Island. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
