Three animals were run over and killed by a train and sixteen animals (likely suffering from overcrowding and zoochosis), died after being attacked by other animals in their pen. A poor tortoise suffered death by electrocution by the zoo’s electric fencing, and a giraffe was shot and killed after it collapsed to the ground. Seven beautiful young and healthy lion cubs and five baboons were murdered for no reason and given other than there was not enough space at the zoo.
And details have been given that zoo owner David Gill shot and killed eighteen Sacred Ibis birds after he feared being prosecuted for allowing them to fly freely. Two female snow leopards were discovered in their cages partially eaten, and two squirrel monkeys were given the diagnosis of septicemia, and blood poisoning. This is not right, animal abuse is not okay!
