Vườn thú Utsunomiya
Nằm ở phía bắc thành phố Utsunomiya, tỉnh Tochigi, Vườn thú Utsunomiya hấp dẫn bởi du khách có thể tiếp xúc với các loài động vật ở khoảng cách rất gần. Với chủ đề “Thiên nhiên, động vật và trẻ em”, nơi đây cũng chú trọng đến khía cạnh giáo dục, như truyền tải rằng khi tiếp xúc với động vật cũng có nhiều quy tắc khác nhau cần tuân thủ.
It was heartbreaking to learn about the suffering of Miyako, the lonely elephant at Utsunomiya Zoo. Miyako was taken from her family and home shortly after she was born and has been held in a concrete enclosure for half a century. She has been denied interaction with other elephants, which is essential for her mental health. I urge you to reconsider your company’s association with such a cruel place.
Utsunomiya Zoo can’t begin to meet an elephant’s complex needs. PETA has offered to help transfer Miyako to a reputable facility where she could live with other elephants for the first time in five decades, but Utsunomiya Zoo’s owner has rejected this offer.
People worldwide are paying attention to Miyako’s plight and are appalled that Utsunomiya Zoo is unwilling to help her. Will you please urge the zoo’s owner to accept PETA’s offer to transfer her to a suitable facility?
