The Animals are sick and dying.... We demand an emergency investigation into the health of these suffering animals.
"These animals are mistreated and not fed and they don't even receive veterinary help! This is outrageous! This is not the first time animals have even died in this zoo from poor conditions. They should close the zoo entirely!!!" .. Witness
This zoo is not at all humane. They lack the proper medical equipment to treat the animals. Therefore, many of the animals are suffering in pain. In typical manner, the USDA is not enforcing their own assessments and violations.
The elephant Mundi, who arrived to the U.S. with Nosey is alone, They are throwing dead baby lion cubs in the garbage. They are euthanizing healthy newborn baby cubs. Many animals are starving, their cages are filthy, expired medication's have been found. One of the Bongo's are with with injuries and limping and the zoo does not have the proper medical equipment to diagnose and treat this suffering animal. The vet was unaware that the Rhino has a mass under the skin, which interferes with the animals movement, as is painful. The animals are stuffed into very small cages. All animals need to be seen. They spoke about a lion that needed surgery to remove a cyst but because it was 'cheaper' they euthanized.. The animals food areas are running over with cock roaches, rodents and varmin. Vet care is not being provided for animals with open wounds. The tigers are underwieght, with bones protruding.
Witness: The black bears were lethargic, very thin and were not even moving. The lions were also lethargic, barely moving and so thin there bones were showing. The tiger was the same way, ribs showing. The rhino, such large and majestic animal was lethargic and looked almost dead. There was no attempt to have the animals in their natural habitats. They had very small cages, with not enough water or shade, or cool areas due to the extremely oppressive heat. This zoo was pathetic, and the animals are being abused. There should be some type of intervention to either shut it down, or transfer the animals out."
IMMEDIATE ACTION IS REQUIRED TO SAVE THESE ANIMALS.....
