Dear Editor,
As frequent visitors to St. Maarten we are appalled by the animals in captivity at the Morgan Bay Resort.
Animals are in the heat in small cages, an employee was observed hitting an animal on the head, no water was provided one day and a turtle died, parrots have had their wings clipped.
This is 2023 and this should not be allowed.
It is truly disturbing and tourists are reporting online about this behaviour.
These animals need to be released and this zoo shut down.
Initially they had loud music blaring constantly near the animal cages.
This is inhumane.
Thank you for reading this and please shut this down.
I will never stay at this resort on St. Maarten.
