Manila Zoo is oldest zoo in Asia, and the administrators of this zoo has turned it into a torture chamber for its residents where they are kept in deplorable conditions. Recent visitors report of malnourished animals, animals with wounds left untreated, dirty ponds, and trash. Tripadvisor reviewers posted that animals are living in filthy conditions, with rotting food lying around and the animals in knee deep mud and feces. This is the Filipino's shame and we call it a tourist destination. Read this blogger's experience and her photos of the conditions of the animals. http://kuro-akira.livejournal.com/88463.html There had been complaints from PETA and various groups to the Mayor's office, which would implement a few "cosmetic" improvements just to keep its critics quiet. The administrators of the zoo have no concept of sanitation, and care and respect for animal life. Please sign this petition and pass it on to friends. Help us to make this viral to stop this cruelty and shame. No more years of promises of improvements. Close the Manila Zoo. Stop this cruelty!
