Giving animals choice and comfort are essential for good #animalwefare. I hope that Miyako(49 years old) will be able to make a choice. #UtsunomiyaZoo #Japan #Elephant #Miyako
I heard that you are going to conduct a survey in Japan. I would like you to investigate not only zoos in Japan that have no problems, but also the breeding environment of elephants kept alone in small zoos in rural areas. (Utsunomiya Zoo, Omoriyama Zoo, Morioka Zoo, etc.)
Our Mission is to end the suffering of captive wild #animals around the world, by uniting the world’s leading animal welfare organisations and captive #wildlife facilities in providing expert, practical and sustainable solutions to improve #animalwelfare. https://wildwelfare.org
We work by collaborating with people and facilities (including within Japan) to understand animal welfare concepts as a whole, then support and guide them in applying those concepts to their management practices where possible. This includes facilities holding elephants.
