Just how will they decide 'his health has recovered'? When he has learnt to do the same tricks without wincing or squirming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats nothing to phuket zoo, they can make it back with just 1 show. The penalty should be 10xs more plus a jail term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
