Like this is my first time in a zoo. I virtually saw them in movies, news and magazines. Actually, most of the animals in the zoo are not well-fed. They lack proper treatment or let me say malnutrition.'

His recording and photographs shows the lion looking extraordinarily slim with its ribs obviously jutting from its stomach.

'We are awaiting the full vet diagnosis and report into how and why this has been allowed to happen.
Zaki is now receiving medical care and it will be an ongoing case. If Zaki survives this ordeal, our NGO has offered to relocate him to a sanctuary that will see him thrive.
'But in his now critical condition, it is not viable to relocate him, we must work closely with the Nigerian officials to have this matter dealt with internally.
'We should forestall enduring in zoos around the wild that holds untamed life hostage for benefit.'
Various different creatures in the zoo including monkeys additionally seemed to be in chronic weakness and malnourished as well. The NGO said the conditions and enclosures were totally unacceptable.
