News Forum - Free zoo entry for children in Thailand for Queen Suthida’s birthday
Tiger cubs are kittens. Kittens need not be drugged to engage with affectionate humans, whats more 'zoo tigers' arguably show a domestication syndrome, after breeding for generations. This is why the old tiger stock was phased out from European zoos: mixed genetic origin and history of breeding for calmness, not conservation of a wild phenotype. -

Yeah I didn't think it was on par with CM and others And Phuket can be a shady place in general (and we love Phuket) I wouldn't take a picture with the clearly drugged Tiger But after the tsunami I went to the zoo And there was basically an open pen with 3 tiger cubs Now probably not the most ethical thing but I was able to sit and play with those tiger cubs alone for about 20 mins It was simply amazing even though I probably wasn't helping the matter as a whole -

I never went (Phuket Zoo was closed in 2020) but the collection was 12 acres. In Britain I would say a 30+ acre zoo is a large one, or collections like London would be small. Small zoos in Britain are under 10 acres, I should say. For a more appropriate Thai context, Chang Mai zoo is 200 acres, and the beloved Dusit was 60 acres. I don't know much about Phuket Zoo, or it's controversies, but it did not have accreditation from SEAZA. -
