I posted the link here.....please complain

Well done, why didn't I think of that! Should have checked back. I have submitted complaint to them and Am over in Ayamonte next week and shall endeavour to go to zoo and some pics etc to send to them. The more people that report it the better.

Thanks jacytoo I have just completed the born free online form too. The more people that vocalise, the better. I'm over on 28th feb, so I too will visit and take photos and talk to the keepers and see what they want us to do too, let's keep the emails to the different animal welfare flowing!!

Tried to visit the zoo on Saturday but appeared to be closed, so unfortunately could not get in to get any pictures, and am now back in UK. The best I could do was get some pics of the monkeys through the glass front of their enclosure. They looked bored stiff! So if anyone living there and has more opportunity to do so can get some, I had a reply from born free foundation who said they would like some. They are already aware of the zoo and animals situation having had a number of complaints, and have visited some years ago which led to some improvements I.e what they have now!

I too have had a reply from born free foundation and I passed the info onto the vet in Seville zoo. It seems they are very worried about the food situation and are liasing with ABBA( not he group!) who are the RSPCA equivalent to see what they can find out. I'm out at esuri on 28th so will try and get some photos, in the meantime anyone who reads this , please complete the born free form on jacktoo's attachment above.

In all my visits in the last 3 weeks I have not seen the white tiger. The animals all looked throughly bored or sleeping. I have seen one zoo keeper on 2 visits, one time he was watching stupid spanish people feeding the deer cheesy wotsits and sticky sweeties !!!! DUH It does say at the door NOT to feed the animals. On that visit there was also a middle aged spanish coule were feeding the parrots fruit and seeds BUT they were also poking and annoying the birds and laughing at their reactions. On the other visit he was standing by the zebras, the official looking man I saw at the tiger and lions approached him and he went off with him.

A programme of education is needed from school age upwards ! If that zoo charged school parties for educational visits with talks on the individual aniamls there. They could generate money for food and care. Also if they had a nominal charge they may help stop the idiots I saw there on the last visit as an added benefit to raising money. They could have a secure box on the wall that allows the gate to open. No need to have a manned box for entry.
