Knuthenborg’s Beautiful Animals

Jeg elsker Knuthenborg, hvor jeg er kommet siden jeg var lille, da min farmor boede 40 minutter derfra. Dyrene har så meget plads, og ser ud til, at have det rigtig godt, og så synes jeg det er fantastisk, at børn såvel som voksne kan få lov til, at komme helt tæt på nogle af dyrene. Det er vigtigt for børn at få lov til, at komme tæt på dyr helt fra de er små, så de lærer at respektere dem, og forstår, at vi skal passe godt på dem og behandle dem ordentligt. Desuden gør parken en masse gode ting for, at bevare og passe på truede dyrearter, i form af bl.a. oplysning til de besøgende og avlssamarbejder. Det er et fantastisk koncept at lave en park så tæt på safari som muligt – hvor du ikke kigger på dyrene gennem tremmer i et alt for lille bur, men i kæmpe landskaber, hvor du er inde blandt dyrene, men de samtidig har steder at gemme sig – det er på dyrenes præmisser.

I love Knuthenborg, where I have come since I was little, because my grandmother lived 40 minutes away. The animals have so much space, and look like they are being treated really well, and then I think it is fantastic that children as well as adults are able to come so close to some of the animals. It is important that children are allowed to come close to animals when they are young, so they learn to respect them, take care of them and treat them right. Besides that, the park does lots of good things in order to care for and keep endangered species on this planet, like information to the visitors and breeding programmes. It is an amazing concept to make a park as close to safari as possible – where you do not watch the animals behind bars in cages that are way too small, but in huge landscapes, where you are among the animals, but they still have places to hide – it is for the animals.
