"The Luján Zoo in Luján, Argentina, has faced much criticism for appearing to drug lions, tigers and bears on a daily basis so visitors can interact with them. Not only is forcing these wild animals to spend their lives in a disoriented, lethargic state to make a profit cruel and unacceptable, allowing visitors to interact with these animals is also extremely dangerous.
Zoo management is also putting the public in extreme danger. Wild animals are highly unpredictable and may spontaneously snap back to their wild nature and attack unsuspecting tourists. Though it is not the fault of the animal for acting on its natural instincts to hunt or protect itself, if an animal were to attack a human they would almost certainly be blamed and killed. Urge local government officials to intervene and close the zoo immediately, both for the sake of the suffering animals and the safety of zoo visitors."
