00:09 Zoos always seek to attract more visitors by setting up new offers
00:13 and add more activities that visitors can do for money.
00:16 In some gardens, the public is allowed to feed predators directly for a sum of money
00:21 as the visitor buys live animals such as cows, goats,
00:25 and rabbits and feeds them to lions and tigers.

00:39 Although those responsible for these zoos justify this act by claiming
00:43 that such activities helps predators to restore their ability to prey
00:47 and maintains their lifestyle and natural instincts,
00:49 but these bloody activities have many negative aspects.
00:53 Also, this action cannot be considered a simulation of the natural environment
00:58 because the space reserved for lions and tigers is not enough,
01:01 and officials prevent these predators from food for several days.
01:05 And this is deliberate manipulation to make lions
01:08 and tigers more violent in killing and predation.
01:10 Also, prey is presented to a large number of predators in a limited area,
01:17 and this is not similar to normal life as the predator
01:21 and prey must struggle and fight for a long time.
01:24 And in open spaces, the predator is forced to chase the prey for a long distance.
01:28 Most of these predators are kept in captivity.
01:36 Consequently, most of them do not acquire the capabilities and skills
01:40 of killing naturally as happens to predators in the wild.
01:43 As a result, lions and tigers in zoos cannot deal with prey with expertise and efficiency
01:48 and instead target nonlethal parts of prey.
01:52 This prolongs the time of predation as it causes prey a lot of pain.
01:56 The most strange visitors are not concerned with the prey suffering
02:06 as much as they are feeding lions and tigers.
02:09 Children are the largest part of the audience,
02:15 and this bloody show may seriously harm the psychological well-being
02:19 of the children present.
02:20 Also, these predators cause a threat to the safety of visitors at times.
02:24 Therefore, adequate measures must be taken to prevent these types of shows
02:29 or at least prevent children from viewing such violent shows.
02:32 In the end, do you think that such shows should be banned in zoos
02:40 or is this a very natural occurring daily event in the wild
02:43 and there is no need to deprive the public of these scenes?
