Distribution of venues according to their daytime welfare score (higher score = better welfare).

<p>Elephant venues peak around the score of 4, representing inadequate conditions, with a gradual decrease to score 7 and a few venues showing better welfare with highest scores. Macaque venues rated worse with a peak around the score of 3 and a large number of venues even only achieving a score of 2. The few tiger venues fell between scores 3 and 4 with one good exception for a single tiger. The numbers of venues keeping tigers, elephants or macaques were plotted according to the animal welfare score calculated by this study for each venue.
