The 18-month-old African lion named Michael was found early on January 8th, 2014

The zoo has a collection of 3,459 animals from 197 species, but 81 animals are sick, disabled, and old, and 44 of which are in severe conditions.

While the Copenhagen Zoo is getting tons of criticism over the culling of Marius and its recent culling of four lions, it doesn't even touch the unethical and inhumane conditions these poor animals are going through. There is a difference between conservation for biodiversity and complete negligence. We can be the voice for these animals. http:www.change.orgpetitionsdr-susilo-bambang-yudhoyono-close-surabaya-zoo
