A lone tiger paced back
and forth on the concrete
as human crowds gawked
at him.
A polar bear unable to shed his fur coat
died of suffocating heat at the Bronx Zoo
A hippo choked to death on a
tennis ball thrown into
his yawning mouth at the Detroit Zoo
The Cleveland Zoo sold
'excess' animals for
canned hunts in Texas.
The San Diego Zoo until

Kadir the elephant
drowned in Prague as the

his concrete room
20 feet below

All night in loneliness
called the zoo's grizzly bear.
Lonely, trapped in a tiny cage..
which no bear could bear.
A monkey was beaten
to death at the Boise Idaho
Zoo
The IDF bulldozed the Gaza Zoo
with the animals alive in the
cages.. some crushed like paste..
others died after their spines
were smashed.
The Copenhagen Zoo in 2014
killed a giraffe to feed his
body to the lions. Several
weeks later the same zoo
killed 4 lions.
At the Akron Ohio Zoo,
Easter bunnies and pet mice
brought to the zoo for shelter
have been secretively fed to snakes.
Many zoos are secret

... facilitating secret torture
of animals.

from abused children and adults
who seek to harm them with missiles
thrown at them, poison etc

When the Cleveland Zoo
sent 'excess' animals
to Texas for a canned hunt
it was not euthanasia
nor zoothanasia...
it was murder.
When the San Diego Zoo
sent primates to UC Davis
for research which would
kill them,
it was not zoothanasia
nor euthanasia
it was murder.
A lone tiger lying
on concrete as
human crowds gawk

Footnote: A canned hunt is a hunt in which animals are fenced in behind for instance a 9 foot chain link fence while men seeking to prove their masculinity shoot at mammals like sitting ducks or fish in a barrel, 2 similes based on the absolute inequity of the massacre.
Thank you to Dick Goddard of Ch 8 Cleveland for having reported on the transaction.
The abcmouse website advertised frequently on PBS promotes the animal slavery of zoos.
