Misa Mama attempted to explain the reason behind the discriminatory policy saying that she had received complaints about women guests being harassed by men.
She also posted on her Instagram an image of what appears to be a sign at the zoo stating the new policy: that men must be accompanied by family or friends.
In a follow up post on X, the owner said she was aware her policy could be considered gender discrimination, but that she had no bias against men.
“Effective immediately, we will not be allowing men to come alone to the park,” she wrote, according to an online translation.
She claimed that unaccompanied men guests tried to strike up conversations with women patrons, engaged in flirtatious behaviour, and even made inappropriate comments.
