webfact Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Zoo forces orangutans to fight in boxing gloves and wear bikinis By Leah Bitsky File photo This place isn’t monkeying around. A Thailand zoo recently hosted an event featuring orangutans boxing as other apes stood outside the ring banging on drums and dancing in bikinis. The wild display at Safari World has gotten mixed reviews over the years, but some argue it should be shut down. “[Orangutans are] extremely intelligent, and the zoo was exploiting that,” said Samantha Fuller, a teacher from Boston living and working in Thailand. Fuller saw the show on a recent school field trip.

craigt3365 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I attended a travel conference a little over a year ago in Bangkok. I guess it was highly contested as many of the travel agencies did not want it here due to the treatment of animals by Thailand. This helps prove their point. All for money and no consideration for the animals. http://www.traveldailymedia.com/232371/study-slams-cruel-animal-tourist-attractions/ Quote Study slams “cruel” animal tourist attractions University of Oxford and World Animal Protection assert that three quarters of wildlife attractions are cruel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksidedog Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Utterly disgraceful. I shudder to think what the result would be if someone tried this in London or New York. I expect better and more civiilsed behaviour from a class of 5 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eligius Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 In so many ways, one sees that Thailand is a good 50 years behind the rest of the civilised world (and that is being generous!). Thailand, the land of Buddhism - whose founder would not even ride on a horse after he became Awakened, still less abuse, humiliate and/ or murder animals ...
