/ #19 Lack of adequateJaguar space

2011-03-12 07:34

I have been to the LA zoo several times and noticed the jaguar pacing in his small cage. While some changes have been made for housing the animals I do not feel the jaguar is living in adequate space. He paces back and forth and while this may be the nature of this animal, it is obvious for his size he does not have enough space. This needs to be changed so his life in captivity can be as pleasant as possible. It is our responsibility (the zoo and the public) that any zoo animals that are on view for our pleasure should also have adequate living space for their size. This matter needs to be brought to the attention of the public since the zoo is doing nothing about it.
