Save the Animals

Yesterday, a friend of mine posted a link on Facebook containing some horrifying pictures of numerous animals in unsatisfactory conditions at a private zoo near Three Hills, Alberta. It's called Guzoo Animal Farm, and it has been around for about a decade. Thing is, this is not the first time they have had complaints about the conditions these animals are living in, and how they compromise the safety of visitors.

Thanks to this photo album posted by a guy who visited the so called 'zoo', it has been spread around the Internet like wildfire and has even reached the newspaper and news television. An investigation has been started, but I know how these things go sometimes. They can take a long time to process, if they are able to find enough reason (which I believe there is) to shut down this place and find these animals proper care. I am staying optimistic, because now the public knows the truth, and either way this place has lost any respect (if any) that anyone has had for them in the first place, and hopefully they will lose business and shut down. These animals deserve the best care, and they are not receiving that. It's very clear in those photos, there is not way they can have an excuse for treating them that way.

If you have looked at the photos, and if you were as appalled as I was, there is an online petition! Even if you don't live around here, it would mean the world to these animals if you signed it anyway. It takes 30 seconds, and every signature counts towards getting these animals out of there and letting them live better lives. Thank you!
