Lions
turn outing into nightmare - 22 July
Boswell is facing more trouble after the KwaZulu-Natal High Court
in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday heard of the
"intolerable" conditions of animals at the park. In
papers before the court, the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife detailed how a
chimpanzee was found "emaciated", had no access to water
while another chimp - who features in television advertisements -
was kept in total isolation in a cage. The organisation also found
67 lions that were kept in "ad hoc" and damp enclosures
designed from disused shipping containers. They also found four
Asian elephants chained for 16 hours without access to water and
only a bale of hay to eat. The findings were made during an
inspection at the park in November 2008. EKZNW executive director
: biodiversity conservation, Bhekisisa Khoza, said in fairness to
Boswell the condition of some of these animals had improved
slightly when another inspection was held last month (June), but
was still far from being acceptable. - News24
