Hamerton Zoo has no animal welfare. Many animals were visibly distressed, had no water, food or enrichment. Enclosures are tiny and rotting and in some cases, made using crowd control fencing and back garden fencing. The middle of the park contains storage containers and what looks like a construction site. There were no keepers around. The only staff we saw worked in the coffee shop/gift shop. Management are either no available or rude and condescending, calling us ignorant and telling others they are blackmailing when saying they will go to press.

This is a very Joe Exotic-esque place where the owner has obviously bought exotic animals as a private collection and uses it to profit. 

We need to get these animals to a safe haven where they will be looked after properly.
