Hello!
The Bandung Zoo and the Bandung Zoo protectionist Sybelle Foxcroft of Cee4life, continue to portray themselves as kind, loving and compassionate to animals.
Does this picture of 2 porcupines kept in small rusty cages, with no access to water in the tropical heat, depict kindness and compassion?
Note the food debris on top of the cage, a result of feeding food through the cage bars. This picture was taken on November 17th 2018 by/for #fixindonesia.com who saw through the "smoke and mirrors" of the Bandung Zoo and are outraged by what they saw. They also observed that many animals are being kept in improper habitats (cages), and demanded answers from the zoo management and asking the public for their opinions.

I have never been to Bandung Zoo but I can clearly see the suffering of the animals from videos and pictures captured by visitors.
Sybelle Foxcroft of CEE4Life, Bandung Zoos “exclusive” NGO partner, has:
* made numerous trips to the Bandung Zoo (since March 2017).
* had hands on involvement with the Bandung Zoo and the captive animals.
* carried out several "educational programs" for and with the Bandung Zoo.
* conducted numerous strolls around the zoo with her live stream videos.
and somehow, she failed to see the suffering and exploitation of the animals.
Cee4Life’s core mission statement claims:
to oppose "systemic misuse of wildlife trade, exploitative misuse of wildlife animals or negligent mismanagement of zoo". Yet they prop up the Bandung Zoo, defend them at every turn and even denied that Karditt was eating his own excrement despite video evidence. ( To read her entire core mission please visit https://behindbarsbandungzoo.blogspot.com/2018/11/turning-blind-eye.html )
Anyone who calls out the Bandung Zoo, Cee4Life or Foxcroft are vilified as animal haters, liars and criminals by the employees of Bandung Zoo, Foxcroft and Cee4Life supporters.
Animal champions like yourselves, who signed and shared this petition know that when someone chooses to side with the animal exploiters, they become part of the problem, they disservice the animals and allow the vicious cycle of abuse and exploitation to continue.
To all who brag about how well the animals in the Bandung Zoo are cared for and loved and vilify anyone who speaks out against the animal cruelty there, what does it make you when you turn a blind eye to animal cruelty and exploitation?
Please sign and continue to share this and the following 2 petitions as they linked to this petition:

As always, thanks for giving your voice to the voiceless and choosing the side of the animals.
