Business ProfileforGarLyn Zoo Wildlife Park, Inc

Such a horribly sad place...I dislike any place that has animals in captivity especially those like this one that have captured animals for pure entertainment of their customers. No rehabilitation, no saving of injured animals, nothing, just to make money off of poorly taken care of wildlife. My husband wanted to take our son to see this place even though I was reluctant.I do not even know where to begin. First I have absolutely no idea how side show attractions like this still exists. The "exhibits" which are lack there of better words, cages, are so small and packed full of far too many wildlife in one area. Two bears in one small exhibit with a depressed dog that will live it's life out in this cage because he's "best friends" with the bears. The alligators are smashed into a TINY dog kennel along beside antithetical 4-5 small dog kennels with lemurs stuffed in. The lions and tigers again, into cages FAR too small for their sizes. Filthy conditions, some either had disgusting water to drink from or non at all. The deer were all so underweight their hip bones and ribs were protruding very clearly. The "free range bird cage" is great from the outside until you get in and realize how there are SO many birds in this tiny cage. What's worse is while we were there, a small child, maybe 3 was running around like a maniac chasing and trying to stomp on the small birds. There were 3 teenage girls in there catching and picking up the birds scaring them. I ended up saying something to all of them because the staff surely wasn't going to. The one bird was injured and it's clear why. I could go on and on. It's a replica of ******************* and I couldn't be more upset about it. Please do not give this place your money or the time of day. There was no animal that was well taken care of other than the random cat we saw walking around. So heartbreaking.

I emailed **** and she said that she has tried to contact the BBB to get her comment removed but has not heard from anyone. The following is her email reply.*********************** wrote on 8/9/2022 1:32 PM: - > Hello! I actually reached out to them that day to retract it. They gave me the correct email to the right contact and I sent the same email then I have not heard back. I am going to try again today but I have definitely reached out.
