Popular Post BillStrangeOgre Posted December 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'm not a huge fan of Cher and definitely not a fan of zoos but credit to her for drawing attention to this. I had no idea this poor creature was being kept at Pata Zoo on the upper floors of Pinklao Department Store, Bang Yi Khan. She should be moved to a sanctuary in the open where she can live in a more natural environment. https://news.sky.com/story/cher-calls-for-thailands-pata-zoo-to-rehome-gorilla-bua-noi-after-30-years-living-above-shopping-centre-12156774 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On her next birthday some of her will be 75. ???? Anyway the Gorilla should be out in a park, not on top of a mall. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais and animals/zoos go together about as well as Thais and electrical wiring or Thais and road safety. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post malcolminthemiddle Posted December 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2020 I visited the Bonanza Zoo in Khao Yai this week. I have also been watching the Secret Life at Chester Zoo on UK TV. The contrast in conditions and animal welfare is startling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsensam Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 never thought much about Cher but saw her interviewed on the one show on the bbc and was impressed by the sincere way she spoke about wanting to help animals, it is something she clearly feels strongly about. the story is hitting national media in the uk: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/11/cher-mall-gorilla-world-loneliest-elephant-bua-noi-bangkok to be honest i'm amazed the gorilla is still there, but sadly maybe i shouldn't be, the way wild and domestic animals are treated in thailand is often shocking and shameful, not everyone but many thais have no respect or kindness for animals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they have been here too long, or not long enough, but they couldn't be more delusional. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moontang Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Reminds me of the story about a gay guy, who goes to the zoo and gets aroused by a male Gorilla. The Gorilla pulls him into the cage and has sex with him. A week later, he runs into a friend, who witnessed the encounter. "We're you hurt?" asks the friend. "Was I hurt?" "I was devastated.... he didn't write, he didn't call..." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiepeter Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 If this poor animal is still there, the 'owner' should be flogged, then imprisoned for life, just as this poor animal has been. A b/g dragged me along to see this private 'zoo' in 1994. The gorilla was in a huge metal cage with nothing but an old truck tyre to play with. It looked so sad. Buddhist country ? Harm none ? Don't start me on that subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
