This is repulsive and terrible. This is not a familiar activity, it is just animal cruelty.
The reviews of this place in Tripavisor shows that the 95% of the visitors said that is terrible and an horrible experience. See the pics of the visitors in Tripavidor. The animals are kept in small cages cobert with oxide. They are tied to posts and hardly able to move.

Organization such as Monkeyworld adviced about the awful conditions of the animals in that center.

Nobody should visit that place, it should be closed and the animals should be released into protected natural spaces.
