Kaki, our beloved pygmy hippopotamus who has been a cherished part of our community, is facing a move that may jeopardize his well-being. Born and raised in a nurturing environment, Kaki has been provided with exceptional care, surrounded by those who understand and love him. However, there is now a plan to transfer him to HH Safari, a facility with a concerning lack of transparency and accountability. This is a move that could lead to emotional distress for Kaki, tearing him away from the only home he has ever known.

HH Safari has consistently failed to demonstrate the same level of commitment to the welfare of its animals compared to the care and attention Kaki has experienced. As a community, we are alarmed by their lack of transparency in operations, raising serious questions about Kaki's future well-being if he is moved. What happens once he's gone? Without clear information and verifiable evidence of proper treatment and care, it's impossible to ensure Kaki's safety and happiness.

The stakes are high, as pygmy hippos are already classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). With only around 2,500 remaining in the wild, each individual plays a crucial role in the survival of their species. Therefore, ensuring optimal conditions for Kaki is not just about one hippo; it's about contributing to conservation efforts at large.

Therefore, we urge those responsible for Kaki's future to reconsider this transfer. Revoking the decision to move Kaki to HH Safari would allow him to remain in a place where he is genuinely cared for, thus prioritizing his emotional and physical well-being.

Please join us in advocating for Kaki by signing this petition. Your support can make a difference in ensuring he stays in the environment that has nurtured and respected him since birth.
