All animals need our compassion


WHILE our tigers and elephants in the jungles are facing the threat of extinction from habitat loss and poaching, animals in zoos could be facing starvation soon. Due to the Covid-19 triggered movement control order, Zoo Negara, for instance, has been closed to the public.

Believe it or not, the national zoo spends about RM400,000 a month to feed its animals. With no gate revenue for now, it is facing a financial crisis. It has been reported that the remaining emergency funds can only last for three months.
