Scunner, what are YOU talking about?
The similarity is that these people, although they sensed from the outset, and had evidence that this situation was not right regarding safety or animal welfare, still went ahead.
This is what I find so difficult to understand too.
They should have made their views clear, demanded a refund from the venue and walked away in disgust.Even reported their concerns to relevant authorities.
Why, if you have any doubts, go through with the activity, and put yourself or children at risk.
As previously said by my post, Yes the activity venues have great responsibilties to protect and care for you and the animals. This matter should be taken seriously.
But this family realised from the start that this was not the case.
The reason it is a shame that I do not have any influence in descision making in the tourism buisiness sector here, is because, I would stop, at once, every activity that abuses animals for profit, in the name of entertainment.
But as you know Scunner, I am trying my best.
The animals have no voice in these matters.
If tourists did the sensible thing and walked out, instead of taking part in any activity where they have doubts about animal welfare, or safety issues, we might be able to make a difference.
surely you cannot argue with that!
