Wildlife Reserves Singapore Welfare and Ethics Committee responds

The Wildlife Reserves Singapore Welfare and Ethics Committee, who are responsible for ensuring that the welfare of the animals kept at the Singapore Zoo is not compromised, has responded to ACRES' report.

They agreed that several exhibits are smaller than the dimensions recommended by the various associations like WAZA and AZA and that they will be upgrading them, providing the animals a more spacious habitat than the current housing.

ACRES thanks the committee for responding positively to the concerns that we have raised.

We are pleased to hear that changes and improvements will be made and look forward to seeing the more spacious enclosures that will meet the species-specific needs of the animals.

We look forward to meeting up with the Animal Welfare and Ethics Committee to present our findings in greater detail!
