Death by Zoo

The Surabaya Zoo in Indonesia offers the most variety of animals than any zoo in Southeast Asia. They are responsible for 4,000 different species and many of them are endangered. Loved by all locals and tourists who visit there, but what they don't know is approximately 15 animals die there every month. These animals are dying from diseases, hunger, lack of exercise and overcrowding which can be easily preventable. This is just unacceptable! Animals should not be living in these conditions! I'm not surprised that so many animals have died in that zoo. They need to get their act together; if not; they are not going to have any animals left. On March 1, 2012 the zoo's last giraffe died because it had a 40 pound wad of plastic in its stomach. For years, the giraffe had been eating whatever it could find and that was mostly trash that was thrown into its enclosure. This needs to stop for the animals sake.
