I was as at event this weekend and was approached by someone who had 5 chins in a cage and was getting more shipped in from Calgary Zoo. They want to have all 7 in a cage together. Males and females. There was the original 2 and the rest are the offspring.
They have males and females together and their current chins were "rescues" and the chins in Calgary were "dumped" on them.
I emailed the zoo and they feel it was a misunderstanding. The person who runs the petting zoo was clear about adding new bloodlines to their chins. The zoo doesn't seem to care.
Maybe if these were endangered chins it would be different but they are rescues.
The petting zoo says that they are a shelter. I say they are not much better than backyard breeders.
