The
circulating information that a resort in the Island of Boracay is allegedly maltreating
its pet animals is not true.
According to
Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) Boracay Protected
Areas and Wildlife In-Charge, Nilo Subong, there is no maltreatment of a tiger
and a python since they are currently being well taken care of.
Subong
admitted that he was aware of information that the two animals are not being
treated well and are not being given enough food.
Nevertheless,
in his inspection on Wednesday of the previews week, he observed that the two
animals were being well taken care of.
He added
that the resort even had a one hundred square meter (100sqm) swimming pool constructed
for the two animals to bathe on.
Subong also
added that the two have their own veterinarian that monitors their health.
Meanwhile, a permit giving permission for the
two animals to once again become attractions for the resort has not yet been
issued by the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Region 6.
