ANOTHER HELL ZOO
This is another hell zoo which has recently come to my attention. Located in the city of Erbil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, the Gilkrand Zoo was named as one of the world's worst zoos. Animals including wolves, baboons, bears, birds, camels and lions are kept in concrete hovels with caged doors. They gaze silently and sadly at the few people who come to the zoo.
Witnesses have talked about animals being abused by these visitors including having their cages kicked and stones thrown at them while zoo employees look on. It is an unhealthy and inhumane environment for these animals with many animals being kept in unnatural habits and showing signs of depression such as wolves eating grass and seen pacing their tiny concrete cages.
A lion can be found, injured when it was transported to the zoo from Syria. It is also believed that this zoo is a seeling point at which Iraq's wealthier citizens can buy exotic animals as pets. This zoo needs to be closed down and the animals released back into their natural habitats. Please help these animals out and sign the petition. It will only take a few minutes of your time but it will mean the world to these animals. http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/president-massoud-barzani-masoud-barzani-sign-rt-stop-barbaric-animal-torture-in-kurdistan-iraq
