Members of the
GOB visited last week the installations of the Safari-Zoo
Mentz, 5 km along the road that joins Portocristo and Son Servera, and
detected a series of very worrying irregularities that have provoked the
request to the Balearic
Department of Agriculture, the entity that has
the control of zoos in the Balearics, to close it.
According to the GOB, the Safari-Zoo Mentz has presented a really
lamentable situation for several years, with installations that are
alarmingly deficient, affecting both the conditions of captivity of the
animals and the quality and safety of the visitors.
