From the "Zoo Check" series:

Kitsunemura (Fox village) in Shiraishi City

Impressions: This is an establishment whose treatment of the animals constitutes cruelty for the following reasons:

1. the animals are severely restricted in their movements by being unnaturally confined in large numbers in a small space or tethered to a wall;
2. no provisions are made for treating sick animals;
3. hygenic conditions are detrimental to the health of the animals;
4. the wardens control the animals with sticks;
5. the animals are not regularly fed. They have to approach the visitors and beg for food
