Bulgaria has no legitimate Zoo (animal) police with powers !
The Issue
Lions are really loved in zoos, so most zoos have lions.
But lions would like it so much better living in the wild than in a zoo.
Zoos can be helpful for lions because they help the lions breed,
so there can be more lions to go back into the wild.
Zoos are amazing places, but we have to be very careful that the artificial habitats we build there are as close to the real thing as possible.
Having an environment that feels like home also helps the animals feel comfortable and happy.
When animals don’t have enough space to exercise or are being fed with the wrong food they can become stressed, sad and sick.
Here comes Bulgaria, in a small city called "Kyustendil " is situated a very small Zoo with exotic animals - Lions and Tigers ! They are living in a small cages as much as 4x6 meters and on pure cement floor with no possibility to exercise ! In the wild, elephants walk up to 30 miles each day, bears are active for up to 18 hours a day exploring their home ranges for up to hundreds of miles, and tigers and lions love running and climbing and will roam many miles to hunt.
In this country the people are so afraid to speak for their rights, even less for animal rights!
I've made a video which I've posted on Facebook with the hope to make it Viral !
I do want to give an example with this act to the people in this city and show them that change is always possible , but We have to Speak for Us and for others !
