I visited this zoo yesterday, and I was extremely disappointed and saddened by the state of the animals and the facilities. This used to be a place where animals were well cared for, but that has completely changed.

The zoo was dirty, with old, poorly maintained equipment. The bears were in terrible condition, with one locked up and the other outside moving very slowly and breathing heavily, looking like it was in a bad state. The water for the bears was green and unclean. Many of the birds exhibited were missing a lot of their feathers, and a significant percentage of the animals had much smaller spaces than they needed.

It was heartbreaking to see many of the carnivores clearly underfed — you could even see their ribs. One of the tigers had part of its tail cut, and I saw a pigeon with a broken leg. These animals deserve far better care.

The zoo desperately needs renovation or, at the very least, proper attention to the animals' well-being. If things don’t change soon, it might be better for the zoo to be closed down entirely. As it stands, the conditions are unacceptable, and I hope to look into animal welfare services that could help address this.
