【你也到過北海道的熊牧場嗎？】
很多很多年前隨旅行團去過一次
印象中確實為數不少的熊隻
都圈養在窄小的水泥空間
向遊人招手點頭討好乞食
隨著對動物福利意識的提升
我們也該更加關心旅遊行程
是不是個對環境與生態友善的景點？
希望透過一些手段與行動
能使園方意識到提升熊隻福利的必要性
熊隻也能得到應有的生存尊嚴
#熊出沒注意的週邊商品是非常成功的行銷_可以考慮品牌行銷加入更多生態保育的概念
［不要參觀品質低劣的野生動物農場。熊牧場，北海道昭和新山］
[Never visit Showa Shinzan bear ranch in Abuta-gun, Hokkaido]
30-40頭棕熊被混養在水泥地牢，環境擁擠簡陋單調。成人門票850JPY，遊客可以另外用200JPY買一袋蘋果餵熊，或是砸在熊的鼻子上。遊客在上面大聲嬉笑，棕熊為了吃蘋果會站立或招手。現場沒有任何具教育意義的資訊，無法得知這些熊從哪來，為什麼會被養在這裡，看來也沒有夠專業的人士負責照顧，宛如豬圈。農場的營業顯然倚重旅行團的挹注來維持，改善動物福利大概也不在農場的考量。如果有人要去北海道，不應該參觀這類低劣的野生動物農場，更不能在裡面消費，要是有人打算參加北海道旅行團，希望可以明確向旅行社表達拒絕參觀熊牧場。也可以在各網路平台發表對這類場所的抗議和意見。唯有讓業主感受到來自民眾的批評壓力，他們才可能思考去改善這些動物的福利。
30-40 brown bears are kept in concrete pits. The pits are crowded and crude, with minimal environmental variations. Fee for adult costs 850 JPY and tourists can buy a bag of apple with additional charge 200JPY. Tourists laugh loudly and throw apples into pits or hit on bear’s nose. Thinking for apples, bears stand up or wave hands to attract tourists’ attention. There are no any information with educational meaning in the ranch. Tourists will never know where these bears from and why they are kept here. There seems no professional personnel taking care of these bears. This place is nothing better than a pig pen.
With lots of tour group bear farm survives and earn a lot of money. However it’s seems that they are not thinking of improve the environment of these bears. People who wants to visit Hokkaido should never visit this kind of poor wildlife ranch and who takes part in tour group should asking tour guide to take out bear ranch from schedule actively. Post comments on internet will help. Only when people show their disagreement of poor animal welfare that the ranch will consider to improve it.
