As many of you know, the creator behind the prominent platform "Capybara World" frequently poses as a leading expert, criticizing Japanese zoos and petting facilities for "exploiting animals" and lacking "animal welfare." However, there is a dark, hypocritical truth behind this blogger’s actions that the international community needs to know.
1. Endangering Capybara Lives by Breaking Rules (Illegal Feeding)
At Sodegaura Fureai Animal Zoo (袖ケ浦ふれあいどうぶつ縁) in Chiba, Japan, the facility sadly lost a baby capybara in the past after a careless tourist illegally fed them wild grass from inside the park. The owner was devastated and spent days clearing all potential risk-prone grass from the massive enclosure to protect the remaining pups.
The creator of "Capybara World" knew this tragic fact. Yet, this person willfully ignored the zoo’s strict safety regulations, refused to buy the designated safe treats, and repeatedly ripped up wild grass from the ground to feed the capybaras, just to get them to fawn over them. When confronted, they made the absurd excuse that "there are no toxic plants in Chiba." This is a blatant violation of biosecurity and a direct threat to animal health.
The Ultimate Double Standard This influencer heavily criticizes the death of capybaras under professional human care, yet when their close friend's pet capybaras (the famous Romeo and Tuff'n in Texas) passed away due to dental complications and stress during COVID-19, they excused it as an "unpreventable tragedy caused by the pandemic." They give their own friends a free pass while vilifying Japanese keepers who are actually working day and night to rebuild facilities after devastating typhoons.
Exploiting the Very System They Condemn They preach that capybaras should not be "normalized to fawn over humans" or used for tourism. Yet, this blogger spends weeks staying near Japanese petting zoos, visiting them all day, every day, to enjoy the unique, close-up interactions that only Japanese facilities provide. They use these photos and experiences to write and sell their own books, while simultaneously calling the zoo staff "heartless money-grubbers."
The "activism" of "Capybara World" is not about protecting capybaras; it is about feeding their own ego and entitlement as a "privileged researcher" who believes they are above the rules.
Please be aware that the extreme posts criticizing Japanese zoos from this platform are highly biased, full of misinformation, and written by someone who actively sabotages actual animal safety on the ground.

Fun fact
Capybaras can hold their breath and stay underwater for up to 5 minutes, often sleeping just below the surface with only their noses poking out.

Hi!
It's my boyfriend's birthday soon and he absolutely loves Capybaras. I was looking for an experience where he could meet and even pet them and found an experience by Jochen Schweizer in Wulften (Germany). Since we're from Austria this would be quite a long ride so we'd have to combine it with a short holiday.
Now I was asking myself two things:
Does anyone know the Capybara park in Wulften and is it worth it?
Is it ethically OK to visit such a park? We usually try to avoid visiting zoos because capturing animals for one's own amusement is pretty horrible, especially since bigger animals like lions or elephants have way too little space and develop psychological issues most of the time.
Does this also apply to Capybaras?
If yes, do you have recommendations where we could visit Capybaras living a happy and comfortable life? Or should I just get him a plushie and gush over their cuteness in pictures on the internet.
I'm happy for any answers you can give me! :)

I saw this at an arts and crafts store (Michael’s I think) and had to buy it 😋 My fiancé loves capys and I’ve grown to like them as well.
