The owner of the zoo has not yet responded. Are zoo took the news last month, when he announced that he the claws of one of his lions had been removed so that the visitors pay a fee could play. Also in January, there was turmoil around the zoo, after four lion cubs were frozen to death. Four Paws condemned the practices with a petition that nearly 150,000 people have signed. After weeks of difficult negotiations, it is now official: the organization takes the animals out of there.
Animals over 40 animals, including five lions are rescued from the Rafah Zoo in the south of the Gaza strip, where they are in "deplorable conditions" life. That has animal rights organisation Four Paws announced today.
