Bua Noi (gorilla)
(Redirected from Bua Noi - gorilla)
The only gorilla in Thailand, Bua Noi was trafficked to Pata Zoo in Bangkok from Equatorial Guinea in 1987. Pata zoo is located on the sixth and seventh floors of a shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand. Her enclosure is surrounded by concrete, bars and thick glass, with only a few ropes and car tire for enrichment.
Animal rights activists and celebrities, including pop icon Cher, have campaigned for Bua Noi to be resettled in a dignified environment for her remaining years.[1]
However, The Thai Environment Ministry said the gorilla’s owners wanted 30 million Thai baht (£739,666) for her release in autumn. The zoo denied the money request on its Facebook page.[1]
