The Indonesian Government: Shut down Surabaya Zoo

The conditions the animals are kept in at Surabaya Zoo are bleak, cruel, and completely inadequate. Many animals are sick and starving, and dozens die every month from bad or inappropriate food, cramped conditions with little to no enrichment, unsuitable environments, forced restraints, poor veterinary attention, and a general lack of animal welfare.

Please support the closure of this zoo, and the relocation of its animals to better facilities in properly managed and funded sanctuaries, where they can be given the full care and treatment that they need and deserve.
