(IN): WAZA concerned on Giraffe death & CZA statement

[Guest guest]

Dear Azam,

Your efforts to contact WAZA are commendable but I remain

sceptical of the outcome. as you may be knowing WAZA has been deafeningly

silent over many cases of animal abuse in zoos, including the killing of

hybrid tigers in zoos for their bodies to be mounted as trophies. I

sincerely hope that they pull up the Central Zoo Authority for their

misdemeanours, but candidly, I am not holding my breath. But good luck all

the same.

Regards and best wishes,

All I can say is that keep trying all avenues with full integrity and leave

the rest to God almighty.

Those who are atheists can leave it on destiny!

Just keep trying....
