Zoo defends cheetah rental programme
Wellington Zoo is rejecting suggestions it's exploiting its animals
with a scheme that allows people to rent out cheetahs for special
events.
The zoo's "off-site cheetah encounter" programme, which costs
customers $2,500, has raised the ire of animal rights campaigners,
who say it is turning the big cats into circus performers.
But Wellington Zoo says the animals are not forced to act
unnaturally, and it is very selective about what functions they go
to.
The zoo says the visits have a strong conservation focus, and animal
welfare and public safety
