A zoo has been condemned by animal rights campaigners after it launched an event charging visitors £15 to play tug of war with lions and tigers. Whilst the zoo argues that the activity is to keep the animals fit and healthy, others claim that it shows a total lack of respect for them. We’re joined live from Dartmoor Zoo by its boss Benjamin Mee who defends what they’re doing and in the studio by the CEO of Lion Aid, Christine Macsween, who thinks the zoo’s actions are abhorrent.

If what she saying is true that wild animals shouldn’t be captive breed or raised then no one would even have a pet to play tug of war with, I have a few dogs that absolutely loves that game” as I’m sure the tigers and lions do and if it helps pay the bills for the zoo animals and people enjoying the animals then so be it! These predators had they been born wild in the savanna’s they would go through much worse then a game of tug a war…. Every time someone try’s to do something great you have a few crybabies slinging mud hoping some of it will stick so they can get their 15 minutes of fame!! Grandma just go back to knitting something you actually may know something about.. The horror she says 😩😩😩😂🤣😂🤣😂 keep up the great work Ben! Don’t let a few maybe scratched knees stop you.. I’m sure the animals are loving it!!!
