So your logic means that because other people do it, that Asia is not? LOL

The thread is about Asia, specifically Cambodia. I commented on Asia in general, it was by no means racist, nor did it in any conceivable way suggest that bullfighting or rodeo is acceptable.

Hope this eases your troubled mind.

oh yes please, by all means single out asia as the single purveyor of animal cruelty

I live like 5mins from Bangkok’s Safari World and the thing I’m like about this is you drive your own car in and the animals are like right around you like an African safari. I wonder if this Cambodian version is the same concept?

No, it's more like a circus with animals doing tricks. It's a fucking disgrace.

Hmmmmm in this case I may not like. Thanks.

I would like to get the animals view on this before I speak on his subject. Has anyone spoken to them.

I find that a poor comparison, people usually got locked up because they did something wrong, I don't believe that the incarcerated animals broke the law...

I have. I am assisting them in filing a class lawsuit. The vultures tell me they know how these things work, so we are confident of a victory.

Open for business!

Cambodia strongman delights as orangutans dance and kickbox

Phnom Penh | Sat, June 23, 2018 | 04:29 pm
- Cambodia's strongman leader HE took a brief break from electioneering on Saturday to watch orangutans roller skate, kickbox and dance provocatively as he opened the first major zoo in the capital.

The premier -- one of the world's longest serving leaders -- is seeking to prolong his 33-year grip on power in the national vote set for July 29 and has used the courts to cripple his opponents.

But he has also tried to cultivate a lighter side.

"Today we are all happy to inaugurate the animal zoo, the Phnom Penh Safari," HE said in a speech to thousands at the park before a ribbon-cutting ceremony, adding that the site of the sprawling complex was a former ammunition depot for remnants of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime.

The $9 million safari will house 89 types of animals, including bears, ostriches, kangaroos, giraffes, tigers and deer.

The zoo is run by a company owned by tycoon Ly Yong Phat, a senator from the ruling Cambodian People's Party.

After the official unveiling HE took a tour of the grounds and sat down to watch the orangutang show, a common form of entertainment at Southeast Asian zoos that animal rights activists have long been critical of.

The 65-year-old strongman smiled as the apes performed a variety of slapstick routines, including gyrating to music.

In the kickboxing event they drubbed one another over the head and delivered a series of punches, knees and kicks, while a presenter narrated the fight.

Aferwards HE congratulated one of the fighters by holding up the orangutang's arm as bodyguards loomed nearby.
