Stop disgraceful attitude to animals at the Zoo in Almaty city, Republic of Kazakhstan!

According to last news the Zoo of Almaty city is in a sad state. We remember about the death of six snow leopards. And few days ago sick tiger Kuralaj died (on the photo, she was alive then). The specialists treated poor animal with enchanted water instead of asking professional help and timely medical intervention. The direction refused to put down the animal, unless there was no chance for her. There are a lot of sick animals at the Almaty Zoo: one more wild cat and white bear are very sick, the fox bit off her leg, the bearded vulture broke his wing and the chimpanzee died. The white bear has a bump on his head and there is problem with his fang, he is very thin. The tiger Rada began to gnaw at her tail, which started to grow bare and began to suffer from convulsions. All pools for animals should be cleared as soon as possible!

The goal of this petition is to improve the conditions of cage housing of the animals and also to change the incompetent administration, because the death-rate is growing but there are no measures.

The Zoo is public place and also national heritage and city’s pride. The entrance in the Zoo is paid, but where the money is invested- nobody knows. Versus with other zoos, for ex. Western, the Zoo of Almaty doesn’t satisfy to generally accepted rules and standards of 21 century. Many people are indignant at poor conditions of the animals (for ex. too thin and intimidated wolfs) when few moths ago all news said that some officials and businessmen allocated few millions for improvement and reconstruction of the Zoo.

Please, sign this petition to improve the conditions of cage housing of the animals in Almaty city and to change the incompetent administration which doesn’t care about animals at all.
