Zoo Negara denies animals neglected, malnourished as claimed in social media post

PETALING JAYA: Zoo Negara denies that its animals are malnourished and neglected after a visitor took to social media to claim that the animals were living in poor conditions, including one especially skinny Malayan tiger.

While acknowledging the zoo’s shortcomings and lack of funds, deputy president Rosly@Rahmat Amat Lana said that the animals were being well-fed and receiving veterinary care to the best of the zoo’s ability.
