A French zoo is expressing its outrage at the"stupidity and disrespect" of visitors who used their nails to scratch their names into the back of one of its rhinos.
The incident occurred at the La Palmyre zoo in southern France, which houses more than 1,600 mammals and receives more than 700,000 visitors each year. The park said it would not take any legal action against the unknown perpetrators; however, it strongly disavowed the actions in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
The post went on to say that visitors can reach over and touch the rhinos when viewing them in the zoo's enclosure, a"moving" experience it said allows people to appreciate"the diversity and beauty of nature." Another example why zoos and circuses with animals should go. Imbeciles in a French Zoo in La Palmyre carved their names in the skin of a Rhino. Only in zoos a Rhino can be approached as if it was a domesticated animal. pic.twitter.
