Lima Zoo #!exposed | Parque de las Leyendas

During my travels around Peru, I had the unfortunate experience of visiting Parque de las Leyendas, the capital's zoo. After reading reviews I had little concern about visiting... however, this soon changed. Reptiles, mammals, and marine life alike face appalling conditions, each exhibiting symptoms of repetitive stereotypic behaviour. This is due to lack of stimulation, too-small confinement, and stress brought on by loud, intrusive members of the public. The hippopotamus is the seventh biggest land animal in the world, yet Lima has given their hippos a bowl of water they can barely turn around in. I have never seen a creature so saddened, confused and alone as the spider monkey in this video, staring into my eyes. The horses were tormented by visitors to the zoo aggravating them. Just like many of the animals kept captive here, they were not looked after appropriately or kindly, with long, unmaintained hooves. On the contrary, the public facilities are excessive; cafés, fairground rides, playgrounds, mazes, gift shops and restaurants. This prioritizing of the public over the animals' welfare shows where Parque de las Leyendas' interests lie. By putting our money into such places, we only encourage the trapping of animals and neglect of care. Animals belong in the wild. Please do not support zoos like Parque de las Leyendas. #endzoos #animals #lima #peru #travel #animalcruelty #animalwelfare
