Visiting Bukit Merah petting zoo left me heartbroken and traumatised. The animals are distressed, cramped into tiny cages with little to no space to move, and are physically sick. They are being fed mouldy food, they have no water, and their cages are unsanitary. These animals are suffering deeply, some even on the brink of death.

This isn't just about animal rights; it's about basic humanity. In a world where we strive for compassion and empathy, such places should not exist.

Malaysia has laws protecting animal welfare, like the Animal Welfare Act 2015, which clearly states the duty of care towards animals. Yet, Bukit Merah petting zoo remains operational, evading accountability. This is a call to action to enforce these legislations and ensure that the zoo is held accountable for its blatant disregard for animal life. 

I'm reaching out to local authorities, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries, the Department of Veterinary Services, and animal rights organisations to urgently intervene. I propose to close down this facility and rehome the animals to sanctuaries where they can receive the care and love they deserve. By doing this, we not only alleviate the suffering of these beautiful creatures, but also set a precedent against animal neglect.

I need your support to raise awareness for these animals. By signing this petition, you're joining a community of compassionate individuals adovating for the voiceless. Let's show that we do not tolerate animal suffering hidden behind the guise of entertainment. Please sign and share this petition to end the cruelty at Bukit Merah petting zoo and to give these animals the future they truly deserve.
