Tis the season……the nicer weather is approaching. That means you more and more roadside zoos will be popping up around Ontario.
Animal protections in Ontario are so poor that a roadside zoo could open tomorrow and not require a license. Think about that. That Is insane!
Animals in these unlicensed establishments are more likely than not completely inappropriate to keep wild animals. The enclosures are inadequate. Supervision of the animals is not close to what is needed to keep both the animals and public safe. The animals are not being attended to by professionals who know what these animals need to be healthy and mentally sound.
