Baby orang utans at Phuket Zoo

[madmitch]

After the debacle with Milo, it appears that Phuket Zoo has now acquired two new baby orang utans. I personally am appalled that a zoo as unsuitable for housing animals as Phuket Zoo can be allowed to keep such animals. It's also pretty much certain that the poor apes will be the latest photo opportunities for those tourists who find pleasure in having their photos taken with endangered species. 

 

There's a petition on change.org. I have signed it.

No doubt they will be beaten like the last one into performing parlour tricks for witless tourists.

Thanks Mitch, signed the petition.

So, when I go to the website , there's a headline and a short piece all in English. It finishes with: "please sign your name and help us make this illegal trading of animals stop in Thailand".

 

The fields where you're supposed to sign are all in Thai language.

 

Not exactly user friendly for those of us who cannot read Thai. Or am I missing something?

At the bottom of the page you can change the language. Sorry, I meant to put that in the OP.

That place along with the Dolphin show need to be bulldozed and never resurrected.
