Animal Abuse

Safari is a beautiful hidden gem in Pretoria, the waterfalls, the walkways, the plants, the restaurants. I've always loved going there, but since moving to Benoni I hadn't been there in years and I decided to take my son for a little outing to what I knew was a beautiful place. We made the mistake of going to the animal section... I cannot begin to explain my disgust and shock at the state of their enclosures. The cages are extremely small, the chickens have no grass or greenery to walk on. The *** is alone in it's tiny enclosure, just laying there because it has no life worth living. The little Marmosette ****** is alone in it's cage. There are way too many goats in their tiny enclosure, not to mention the amount of rodents probably eating more of the animals food than they are. The state of these animals and their enclosures is surely a wellfare hazard! I am reading reviews of over 6 years ago with the same complaints. Safari is a gold mine, how in the world are they not funding better enclosures for these animals? Or better yet, just shut down the zoo. Animals need to be in the wild or in the rehabilitation centers in case of rescues, not like this. I am horrified by this, it is traumatizing at the very least. I'm so concerned by the wellbeing of these animals. I will do everything in my power to get every animal wellfare organization involved until this is taken care of. Shame on you Safari!
