Lemuria Land — Attraction in Diana Region

Trying to sell below par animal treatment as conservation, it happens all too often. This park is supposed to be a tourist attraction, where they catch wild lemurs to display in tiny cages and small islands. There's crocodiles that are being poked with sticks to get a response, tortoises up for petting and more beautiful animals that should be living in the wild instead of in pens.
