 |
|
Seoul, South Korea (AHN) -- Chubby and overweight animals in a South Korean zoo will be put on a diet after almost ten years of eating processed foods.
Animals at the Seoul Grand Park zoo had been eating more than the normal amount of food intake per day so the animal management have decided to increase amount of their natural food intake and decrease the processed foods.
Park Seon-Deok, a member of the animal management team said, "Feeding the animals according to the 1998 guidelines made the animals overweight,"
"Horses, for example, like processed food better than grass, which is what they would be eating in the wild," Park said.
The zoo will also start cutting the amount of food and add exercise programs for the animals.

| I really don't like calling Seoul Grand Park a zoo. It is a prison. |

Agreed, its a rather depressing place and the worst one for me was the wolf site. A concrete caged area reminescent of the 1900's. They have the space, so open it up a bit. Make it more like the other zoos in the world. |

I guess they felt that all of the animals had "fatty livers".  |

Grass clippings then? I guess their solution is Korean food. |
