Located 70 miles from Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, the Lujan Zoo has received strong criticism. It has been called wild, irresponsible and even dangerous. Officials there simply call it--'The World's first interactive Zoo'.
The controversial zoo allows tourists to have extremely close encounters with some of the most dangerous predators on the planet.
Zoo visitors can ride lions, cuddle bears, stroke tigers and feed cheetahs. Cages are accessible to anyone who pays $50 and signs a waiver relinquishing the zoo of responsibility if they are attacked.
Children are permitted to enter the cages and stroke a range of animals with the potential to kill or maim.
Animal protection charities have condemned the zoo and issued strong statements urging tourists not to visit it.
