It was an amazing experience that I went into a bit naive. The animals are clearly drugged, especially the lions.'However, they are taken care of and it was still terrifying to get to get in the cages with them to pet or feed them. You should just know what you are getting into.
'I definitely would have thought twice about going if I had realised the animals were going to be doped up.'
