Peta' s Senior Media and Communications Manager Jennifer White said: "There’s nothing cute about a baby being born in captivity.like Moo Deng, who would naturally shun human contact and spend much of their time in water, life in a concrete cage is no life at all. The zoo is also now working hard to meet the public’s appetite for updates, regularly posting photos and videos while also managing crowds of visitors wanting to get a glimpse of the hippo.
Peta said how breeding programmes "do absolutely nothing" to protect the survival of an endangered species like pygmy hippos.Jennifer continued: "Zoos don’t breed animals with the intent of replenishing threatened populations. But zoo director Narongwit Chodchoi snapped back at some allegations surrounding Moo Deng and her care, telling local media that the zoo ensures the 2,000 animal's welfare and quality of life.
The organisation also said their focus remains on pushing for "the transfer of animals like Moo Deng" to sanctuaries to live in more natural environments - and not around gawking visitors.Moo Toon is the older brother of Moo Deng.His name, like Moo Deng's, is pork related - and translates to "stewed pork".
