It wasn’t that long ago when Rachel and Tiffi went to the zoo.

The pandemic was peaking so the girls had to wear their face masks. It was a fun day and their guide, Harry, gave them a wonderful tour of all the animals. If you haven’t read the story yet, you might want to check it out first – The girls go to the zoo.  

Let’s continue with the sequel …… 

As the girls walk out of the zoo, they aren’t aware that a group of Giraffes are on the way out too. They want to escape the cruelty of life in the zoo. 

For example, below are some things that happen at a zoo that you’d rather not know. 

‘New Animals Are Quarantined - Because animal transfers between zoos is a practice that takes place often, it’s fairly standard for new arrivals to be quarantined from the rest of the general population. This process typically takes place over the course of one to two months with the new animal spending all of its time in solitude. This is to ensure that the new transfer does not pass on any diseases it may be carrying, while allowing zoo staff to closely watch the animal’s health and tend to it before allowing it to interact with others.

Families Are Separated - In one of the sadder truths about the things that go on behind the scenes at zoos across the world, it’s a reality that families within each animal species are separated quite often. In fact, it’s a pretty regular occurrence that takes place daily. This is to accommodate other zoos that are in need of a certain animal species. When newborns come into the fold, they are often removed from their family and moved to other facilities to meet a certain count. In much harsher instances when there is a need to control the population at certain zoos, sometimes they are given or sold to ranches, pet stores, or research labs.’ (Source)
