While visiting Lagoon recently, I was appalled to see that the living conditions for their zoo animals was less than stellar.

We love Lagoon for families, but as an animal lover I just can't bear to see animals in the situation they are in at Lagoon. The animals are kept in small cages as opposed to big exhibits. It's sad to see that in this day and time.

Why does Lagoon even have animals in this condition? No one goes there for the animals; we go for the rides. Please, please, take those animals to proper zoo facilities and stop the abuse.
