Born Free USA Speaks Out Against “Game Farm”

in Animal News

At Olympic Game Farm in Sequim, Washington, visitors can view animals such as lions, wolves, bears, yaks, bison, and llamas up close. However, in addition to receiving ongoing complaints about the welfare of the animals and their small enclosures, Olympic Game Farm has been criticized for encouraging visitors to feed the animals bread. Adam M. Roberts, CEO of Born Free USA and Born Free Foundation, said, “Whole-wheat bread is simply not the natural diet of bison or any other wild animal. Bison should be allowed to forage for their own diet—one that is optimal for their digestion and health—on their own terms in the wild, not be fed processed items by intrusive strangers who drive through the enclosure.”
