Having a zoo
would be a “welcome development” for Boracay.
According to
Department of Tourism (DOT) Officer-in-charge Tim Ticar, it is a good idea to a
have zoo on the island as this will be an additional attraction to the
tourists.
It is also
favorable for vacationers who are seeking more activities.
However, there
are certain rules and standards that must be followed.
The security and
state of the animals, particularly those that are included in the endangered
species list, must be ensured.
There is also
the accreditation and safety of the handlers, as well as the security of the tourists
and or the public.
The subject came
about after a discussion of an alleged zoo operating in Boracay spread in the
social networking sites.
It mentioned
that this certain zoo has a lion, a tiger and a type of a snake.
Tourists can
even take pictures of the mentioned animals.
This time
however, a registration or application for requirements in operating a zoo in
Boracay cannot be confirmed with the DENR-CENRO office.
