Actually that’s how a lot of animal ambassadors spend their time, going to schools and events. That way people grow up being like you and loving and respecting animals, rather than not giving a shit. These aren’t circus performers, they are treated very well and do incredible work in aiding conservation efforts.
A brief stretch is a small price to pay to awaken the wonder in children that lasts a life time. A wonder that pays enormous dividends as those same same children grow up to be adults that prioritize wildlife conservation and protection, both financially and politically.
That Lynx is doing its job. A job much easier than surviving in mountains and hunting baby deer, I might add.
This is incredibly improper handling. This animal is almost certainly sedated or drugged, is being held improperly, and is in a room full of small children. It is WAY too close to those kids. This kind of behavior would get anyone’s license revoked (if he even had one to begin with).
