1. Parc Zoologique de Fréjus

Frejus Zoo, France
Nothing good can be expected from a zoo, whose incompetence allowed to have two baby gibbons stolen from her mother. I cannot imagine the distress this nurturing creature must have suffered and I the destiny these two babies might have. Not only zoos should not exist anymore, but this one particularly should close its doors permanently.

The zoo is poorly maintained. The animals look ragged and neglected. The cages are poor with little for the animals to do. There is little for the children to do, you will see everything in less than half an hour. The brochure shows hands on with the animals and live shows. This wasn’t the case. No hands on and the show area hadn’t been used for a while as it was very overgrown. Some areas of the zoo were closed off to the public. The roads and walking areas are riddled with potholes and cacti thus rendering them unsuitable for young children and buggies. This is what zoos were like 30 years ago. We all found it very distressing and felt that it should be closed. DON’T GO.
