Thank you for your review. It is true that one small part of the crocodile enclosure is a stagnant green pond, the rest of the enclosure is filtered through a living bog filter. It just so happens that the crocodile likes to hang out in the stagnant pond. Who are we to judge the creature, it has freedom to choose between clean clear water and stagnant water. Fish massage is not harmful to the fish, in fact they also make a choice as to whether to eat dead skin of your feet or keep well away. Some people appreciate the opportunity to have a touchy ticklish experience with animals, both man and animal have the choice whether to enter into this relationship. Our snakes are all rescued from becoming peoples dinner. They are well fed and live a peaceful life away from dinner plates. We appreciate that some people do not like to see animals in enclosures, but the reality is that unless some are kept in enclosures most people would never get to see the animal except on a video. When people have close encounters with animals, they can better appreciate the beauty of their personalities and design, encouraging them to contribute to their preservation rather than destruction. We hope our vegan brothers and sisters will come and make their own opinion on whether Butterfly Paradise is a great place to enjoy vegan food or not.
