Improved two -hong breeding environment
Since the report in 2017, the breeding environment of Japanese macaques in Shiroyama Park, Tateyama City, has been improved since 2017.It took a long time, but Tateyama City did not neglect the problem of Animal Welfair and faced me from the front.(Certified NPO Animal Lights Center Director = Chihiro Okada) Ran -chan, a Japanese macaque who improved this time, was born in 1993 and has a close life.It was not clear when it was trapped here, but for more than 20 years, there is no ground, surrounded by thick iron rods..I spent in a cage of about 5 tatami mats.There was one log and a poor board, sleeping on the board.The cage door has been closed all once when it broke.The feces fell under the cage, and the cage itself was small, so just sweeping the bottom was finished.Last year, we expanded the area using the cage that housed the neighboring Kujakubat, so that we could walk on the ground, install a lot of waters, put on a steering wheel, so that we could climb high places.Finally, I can move properly.Many people who hurt his heart to Tateyama sent his opinions and improved.I would like to highly evaluate Tateyama City's response while there are few facilities to improve.
A monkey cage that is often left behind in Japan
Two trapped in a cage
Currently, there are animals in Japan that are surrounded by free zoos that have spread as free entertainment during the poor era after World War II.Many of them are in a poor cage.Our animal protection groups often receive reports on these facilities.Many are "there are animals that are neglected," and there are many reports from foreigners.Animals when they were babies are cute, and many zoo wants to get popular babies.Therefore, it is difficult to reach the end of a free zoo in the past.The last animal that remains is a long -lasting animal.Most of them are macusals such as Japanese macaques and tie -in columns.Macaque is an animal that makes a flock, but is basically an animal that accepts new animals as a group of flocks.Especially in cages and enclosures without escape, new monkeys are likely to be killed.Therefore, it is not possible to transfer or sell to other zoos.If there is a case that can be transferred, it is a facility that considers a poorly -owned welfare facility or its monkey as another use.The monkeys remained in one corner of the park, one or two times a day, have no different days, except for the time when the keeper feeds and cleaning the concrete floor.send.The same applies to Shiroyama Park, Tateyama City, but the improvement was in time before dying.However, some monkeys died without improvements.It is a free zoos in Iiyama Hakusan Forest Park, Atsugi City.We offered an improvement in 2004, but we have no power in our civil society, and without improvement, the last one died in 2018, and there is no longer any evidence of the cage.What was shocking was that when I called Atsugi City in 2020, I didn't even know the existence of these monkeys.It was so strong.Nevertheless, the animals will suffer there until the end.In particular, the last one would have tasted hell.Fear, loneliness, anxiety, despair, boring ... monkey emotions are the same as humans.I guess you can imagine it.
