Shut Down ‘World’s Worst Zoo’

"The once-proud Surayaba Zoo in Indonesia has been dubbed the ‘world’s worst zoo’ by media after the deaths of nearly 50 animals in three months. Most of the deaths were due to cruelty or negligence, such as a giraffe found with 20kg of plastic bag litter in its stomach.

The zoo is currently home to 3,500 animals, including some endangered species of orangutan and tiger. Overcrowding and filthy, tiny enclosures lead to stress, injury, and disease. Trash and polluted cages, contaminated water, and constant tethering pose a threat to the entire zoo population. Demand the immediate closure of the Surayaba Zoo in order to prevent further animal suffering due to negligence."
