Hanuman2547 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I'm surprised that this "zoo" is still operating. There were calls for it to be shut down over 20 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Cher help them too? You’d have to ask her. Apart looking like an attention seeker, you’re just insinuating that anyone who cares about animals doesn’t care about people. That’s just plain foolish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously thinking it’s good for the bank balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Ever lived in a "nice" moobaan? Besides soi dog problems, there are always dogs left in cages for long periods of time, incessantly barking. The concrete construction and small lots amplify the noise like a Harmon-Kardon. Those dog cages are much smaller than the Gorilla cage, even factoring in weight.

To an animal lover it might appear foolish but I just prefer people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why dont you start an online campaign, urging the zoo to keep the Gorilla where it is ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you in a similar situation to the Gorilla ? Stuck in a room with no friends ? Would you like me to contact Cher and make her aware of your situation ?

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 I actually visited this place 23 years ago and saw this gorilla(amongst other animals), when I used to stay near the Khao San road as a backpacker. Was a surprise to see a zoo up there. I also remember that my German/Polish girlfriend was proper grumpy at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
