until now they still don't have personal Vet/standby Vet in location. There is one Vet but only handle show animals (beluga, walrus, dolphin) but for this Vet can't handle Penguin, Tiger, Fish and their 5 interaction Dolphin. They have one Vet (for pet animals) just for goverment legality but in fact this Vet only for medication suplier. Please kindly help to share this petition to help this animals to get better treatment from this company.
