Marjan, the one-eyed lion of Kabul zoo, has managed to survive war after war. But will he be able to survive this latest conflict and the current shortage of resources?.

Over the years, many animals have died of starvation, and many of those who survived were themselves eaten when food was short at the height of the country's relentless civil war.

This King of the wild deserves a dignified end for his 45-years. Marjan's brush with death, which blinded the lion in one eye, has left the poor animal traumatized. In addition, Marjan has no mate, and often goes hungry without the volunteer donations from a local butcher.

The Northern Alliance, shows little signs of interest or resources to fund the zoo.

More help is needed!

Sign Now to demand that the international community act NOW!!!

Dear Kofi Anan,

We, the Undersigned, insist that you act immediately to save the suffering animals of the Afghan zoo, and ensure that Marjan, the lion, and his zoo mates are well taken care of.

Thes animals deserve just treatment. They are innocents in this current conflict and should not suffer any longer.

Sincerely,
The Undersigned.
