[www.keralites.net] Surabaya Zoo ‘Zoo Of Death.’

 

(source)  2 years ago

If this is not cruelty to animals then what is?
 


 
The animal cruelty you are about to see may disturb you.
 


 


 

There is a zoo in Indonesia that mistreats its animals so terribly, it's called the Zoo of Death "The Surabaya Zoo" 

 
The Surabaya Zoo is quite literally a living nightmare and it is Indonesia's largest zoo. Charging people $1 to enter this hell hole. With no proper veterinary care, filthy living conditions, and visitors who throw trash into the already-too-small enclosures an estimated 25 animals are dying each month from unnatural causes. Kliwon the giraffe died with a 40lb wad of plastic the size of a beach ball in its stomach. Many of the large carnivores have been starved and malnutritioned for so long that their bodies can no longer absorb any nutrition. Those who are not euthanized are starving to death. Those who do die are rumored to have their most valuable body parts sold into the $5 billion per year illegal wildlife trade. Indonesia is also home to some of the world's last remaining and most diverse rain forests-- all of which are under imminent threat of destruction for cheap paper and palm oil production. The Governor's of Indonesia are actually affected and influenced by the massive number of "signatures" on online petitions-- currently a petition with over 37,000 signatures ( http://www.change.org/saveAceh ) has temporarily halted the turning over of 1.2 million hectares of Aceh Forest to the greasy hands of Palm Oil producers, paper mills, and mining companies. Aceh is home to 1/3 to 1/2 of the last remaining Sumatran Tigers and 80% of all the world's wild Orangutans. There are currently several petitions out there to close this zoo. If you want to do anything, something, even if it won't work out please sign one or all of them. There are major animal organizations who forward these to the Governors:http://www.thepetitionsite.com/330/792/006/stop-the-deliberate-cruelty-of-surabaya-zoo-animals/
