A starving #SunBear begs for food in an #Indonesia ZOO
This isn't new news😔
In 2017, Scorpion Foundation: "90% of Zoo's in Indonesia are unfit"
Under the guise of #CONservation is how these 84+ Zoo's operate

The Ministry of Environment & Forestry regulates these Zoo's

Secretary General of Indonesia Zoo Association👉 #TonnySumampau does nothing
In 2013 the #surabaya Zoo, 130 animals died
In 2014 it was called the #ZooOfDeath
There are daily #AnimalRights VIOLATIONS committed by these Zoo's -
