Review of Beijing Zoo

The main reason I gave this place a 2 star rating ...

The main reason I gave this place a 2 star rating is because of how the animals are kept. If you love animal's and seeing them looking down makes you sad trust me this is not for you. I do understand why people are happy and that's because they can see the different types of animals. I was happy to get to see the giant panda's but as I walked around the park I began to cry and this was because of how the animals are kept. The kangaroo had no hop left they dragged their feet to get food and some of them even ate their own poop. I stood looking through the glass and just cried and wanted to leave but I had to see the elephants for me that was important. I got to the the place where they kept them, I was broken to see how small the cage is and how they have to life. The other cage was huge but it was empty and they put them in the smaller cages. It was so hurtful but I was amazed how the mother didn't show her baby she was tired and kept playing along with her even though she at times just needed to stop.. The zoo advertisers alot of animals but all of them are not there. They had no hippos, lions, polar bears and flamingos to mention some. Alot were missing and that's a fact but they don't tell you this. The panda's are well kept and very beautiful but like I said if you are an animal lover you will be very said to see the conditions in which they are kept.
