Hundreds of Animals Die at Zoo

Indonesia's largest zoo is responsible for the deaths of nearly a thousand animals over the past three years, including endangered animals such as a Sumatran tiger, which died last Saturday. A manager at the zoo reported animals have been dying by the hundreds because of neglect on the part of the zookeepers. The animals have been subjected to overcrowding, lack of food and sunlight, and exposure to easily treatable illnesses. The neglect results, at least partially, from infighting between zoo officials over who is in charge. Their bickering was evidently more important to them than caring for the animals and as a result, the zoo reported 362 animal deaths in 2008, and 327 in 2009. Between being responsible for the deaths of endangered species, depriving animals of food, and keeping them cramped in cages not updated or renovated since 1990, the Surabaya zoo exemplifies what is the worst about the animal entertainment industry. But please don't think the Surabaya zoo is just a "bad" zoo and there are other "good" zoos out there. It is easy to look at a zoo in Indonesia and assume we have better conditions and that we must treat our animals so much better. A cage is a cage and animals die in American zoos every day. No animal is ever happy, content, or fulfilled living in a zoo. Spokespeople for zoos, circuses and other animal entertainment companies always assure the public they have their animals' best interests in mind when they make decisions. But the reality of that statement is easily seen following a situation like this one in Indonesia. The truth is, whenever there is another concern, the animals are the first thing to be ignored. The answer to problems like this isn't a better zoo. It isn't a bigger cage, or better food. It isn't more attentive staff or more funding. The ultimate answer to problems like this is the end of animal entertainment. Animals do not exist for our amusement any more than they exist for our consumption. The only solution is to close all zoos and circuses...for good.

Zoo Deliberately Deprives Animals of Food posted

Animals at a zoo in India were deliberately deprived of food for two days because of a dispute about payment to the zoo contractor. The company in charge of running the Siddharth Zoo in Aurangbad, India had not been paid by city officials for the past three months. In protest to the delay the company refused to feed the animals and ordered employees to leave the zoo. Zoo employees upset by the situation went directly to the mayor’s office to complain. Mayor Anita Ghodele then ordered that immediate payment be made to the zoo contractor. However, the check was not handed over to the contractor. Instead city employees claimed they could not cut the check “because of technical reasons.” The mayor then claimed that she personally inspected the zoo and made arrangements to feed all of the animals - but food was not delivered that day or the next. The animals were starved for two full days. The whole sordid set of circumstances actually appears to be about concerns that the contractor was cheating the city. Officials claimed the company was buying stale meat at a cheap price, but charging the city for the full amount and pocketing the difference. But instead of accusing the contractor or working on a solution to the problem, they simply stopped paying the company and apparently made no provisions

We do not sell or share the email addresses you provide.15 commentsThe indoor Pata Zoo in Bangkok continues to cause controversy among animal advocates in Thailand. The Pata Zoo occupies the top two floors of a department store on a busy street in Bangok. Inmates of the prison-like structure include a female gorilla named Bua Noi, two emaciated tigers, and a single "dazed-looking" Humboldt penguin, the last surviving member of a group of a dozen penguins. The penguin occupies an air-conditioned room alone. Because of the structure of the zoo, the conditions of the enclosures, and the dreadful appearance of the animals, it is understandable why there are regular flare-ups of outrage about the Pata Zoo. For activists in Thailand, one of their biggest concerns along with the wellbeing of the animals, is the danger of fire. A similar zoo existed in Bangkok that caught fire and killed most of the animals which were trapped inside. Activists' attempts to have the zoo shut down are hindered by the lack of real animal welfare laws in Thailand. The laws on the books are so vague that it's impossible to shut down Pata on legal grounds. As incomprehensible as it is, Pata is a legal zoo with a permit. People like Roger Lohanan lament the perception among Thais that animals are possessions that can be treated any way the owners choose. Lohanan is the secretary of the Thai Animal Guardian Association. He says the attitude of the zookeepers is the same as a person who says he loves his fighting cock for being a good fighter. They love their animals for their usefulness but not much else. All this in a country that is predominately Buddhist. Lohanan is right when he says that the problem is that humans perceive animals as property, inanimate objects not worth moral consideration. We can have strong affections for objects. I love my bicycle; it's a source of exercise, transportation, and few things clear my head and bring me out of a gloomy mood like a long bike ride. But I don't worry about chaining up my bike, replacing the parts when I feel like it, or neglecting it when the weather's not right for riding. I don't doubt that the people who walk elephants in the streets or train their dogs to perform in the marketplaces care about the animals, but they care about them the way you care about an object, not a sentient being. I don't doubt that the zookeeper at Pata who keeps a picture of Bua Noi the gorilla in his wallet cares about her. But only as an object. Even in a culture rooted in the compassionate teachings of Buddhism, the problem of animal exploitation runs rampant. Groups that advocate for animals in Thailand and across the globe have to work to change the perception of animals away from animals and to sentient beings worthy of moral consideration. Only by eliminating the status of animals as property will we ever make a meaningful change in their welfare. Zoos cannot exist in a culture that views animals as sentient beings. When we cease to view animals as property, we eliminate animal entertainment at the same time as we eliminate animal consumption. That's the only way that Bua Noi will ever have a real life of her own.

But instead of accusing the contractor or working on a solution to the problem, they simply stopped paying the company and apparently made no provisions for the well-being of the animals. Poorva Joshipura, chief officer for PETA India said, “It is against the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 to deprive animals of food. PETA will be urging the Central Zoo Authority and the police to investigate the zoo for illegal activity immediately.” The Siddharth Zoo was established in 1984. It is home to 22 species of animals. It has a snake park and aviary park and houses two lions, seven white Bengal Tigers and eight Royal Bengal Tigers. It is also home to 34 deer, two elephants and 10 blue bulls. The zoo was in the news in August when a female tiger was released from her cage and wandered on her own the whole night. She was captured the following day.
