On Tuesday, Chalermchai Sri-on claimed that the care given to the younger crocodile was completely up to international norms.
Last week, the Born Free Foundation and the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals ( PETA ) in the United States urged tourists to avoid seeing the 7-month-old hippo at Chon Buri’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo. They claimed the park was using its fresh sun and had failed to meet her requires naturally.
Mr. Chalermchai claimed that Narongwit Chodchoy, the park’s chairman, confirmed that it complied with all international regulations for dog happiness.
