Guha's animal exhibit Images

August 23, 2006

This wolf exhibit is grossly undersized, makeshift and entirely inappropriate. There is no public stand-off barrier to keep visitors away from the cage.

The interior of this cage lacks anything to provide stimulation or comfort for this wolf.

This sleeping box is too large and exposed, lacks bedding and is unsuitable as a cold weather shelter.

Visitors are able to park their cars next to the wolf exhibit. The wolf appeared stressed when visitors arrived and left.

This metal cage for two foxes is extremely small, barren and does nothing to satisfy the biological and behavioural needs of the animals.

A plywood box and a couple of old branches are the only furnishings in this cage. These animals have nothing to do.

A plastic bucket coated with algae is filled with dirty water. Every
animal should be provided with fresh, clean water on a daily basis.

This lynx cage is small, barren and does not provide the animals
with any privacy. All captive animals should be able to remove
themselves from public view.

The two water containers in the lynx cage are filthy and coated
with algae. Water containers should be kept clean and free of contamination.

A small barren exhibit for a cougar is inappropriate for this animal. Cougars are wide-ranging, intelligent animals that require space and stimulation.

All animals should be provided with structural enhancements, furnishings and enrichment that encourage species-typical movements and behaviours. Guha's simple, barren cages provide none of these.

Two tiger cubs are housed in a barren display.

Bored animals become inactive and sit, lie or sleep their days away because they have little else to occupy their time. These lions are provided with very little space or stimulation.

This lion cage, while still deficient in many respects, is clearly the best cage at Guha's.
