Rescue Effort Brings End to Squalid Fate for Argentina's Abandoned Zoo Animals
Years after Argentina shut down a notorious zoo, lions, tigers and bears are finally being rescued from substandard conditions on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. The animals, which had managed to survive in poor conditions, are now receiving care and rescue efforts.
Lions, tigers and bears that survived in substandard conditions at a now-shuttered zoo in Buenos Aires are finally being rescued years after the facility was shut down for animal cruelty. The animals, who were held in poor conditions despite being shut down, will receive medical attention and proper care as part of their rescue efforts. A team of veterinarians and conservationists is working to rehabilitate the animals before they can be reintroduced into the wild or placed in accredited sanctuaries. The rescue operation is seen as a major step towards holding those responsible for the zoo's mistreatment accountable.
