The discussion centred on animal welfare in Malaysian zoos.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Pic &#8211; An elephant was tied with chains with nor mercy at Ahma Said&#8217;s Zoo Bukit Takal, Kemaman, Terengganu]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Addressing a press conference after the meeting, she said the Malaysian public needed to be educated about zoos \u2014that they are not just places of entertainment, but also of animal conservation.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting with Perhilitan discussed the Wildlife Conservation (Operation of Zoos) Regulations 2012, a law that was gazetted last Feb 1. It gives Perhilitan more bite in going after zoos and wildlife parks that are negligent in their job of caring for animals. It covers, among other things, health care, animal enclosure spaces and wildlife show guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>MyZoo welcomed the new regulations, but said better enforcement was needed. Its delegation said zoos, NGOs and government agencies needed to work together to improve the situation.<\/p>\n<p>MyZoo advisor and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) academic Sumita Sugnaseelan said a lot of reports about animal attacks were exaggerated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a visitor crosses an enclosure\u2019s barrier, do you blame the animal for reacting?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>She added that parents needed to obey cautionary signs at the zoos lest their children mimic them. \u201cIf there is a sign that says don\u2019t feed the animals, and the parents do it, the children might emulate that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Perhilitan has agreed to let myZoo representatives join the agency\u2019s zoo audit team, which would routinely inspect Malaysia\u2019s zoos.-FMT<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"decoded\" src=\"http:\/\/buletinonline.net\/v7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/gajah%20yang%20dirantai%20kakinya.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"http:\/\/www.buletinonline.net\/v6\/http:\/\/buletinonline.net\/v7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/gajah%20yang%20dirantai%20kakinya.jpg\" width=\"386\" height=\"260\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px; border: 0;\" \/>KUALA LUMPUR <\/strong>&#8211; The next time you take your children to the zoo, make sure they don\u2019t make too much noise.
