12月6日，杭州野生动物世界在进行黑熊表演时，发生了黑熊将驯养员扑倒争抢食物的事件。该事件最后以全部停 止黑熊表演，将涉事驯养员停职并转其他岗位而告终。 近几年来，关于主题公园动物表演的话题屡屡受到关注，2025年8月，有自称郑州海昌海洋公园的前兽医发文：公 园长期给海豚打镇静药、给海豹用过期药，甚至北极狼疑似治疗不当死亡。直到现在，这起事件都没有后续调查 定论。 除了动物表演，主题公园的服务也遭到游客质疑。今年9月，上海海昌海洋公园的"翻包禁食"风波闹得沸沸扬扬。 游客入园时被工作人员徒手翻包，所有零食都被没收。这不禁让人想起几年前的上海迪士尼，同样的问题，但迪 士尼最终允许游客携带食品入园，并增设X光安检机减少手工翻包检查。 当年这个案例已经说明，无论翻包检查还是禁止自带食品，对游客而言都具有一定冒犯性。上海海昌海洋公园给 出的理由是，"为了保护动物"。 | lk 43 | 鼻位名称 | 终一社会倡用代码 (或者住质身) | 核定 代表 人服 负责 人 | 机位地址 | 其要违法事实 | 还用情况。 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | 烤品( ...
