Indonesian Zoo Loses A Giraffe Due To Garbage And Neglect.

Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656

At the Surabaya Zoo in Indonesia, a 30 year-old giraffe named “Kliwon” died due to 40lb. plastic ball that was trapped inside the animal’s stomach, an autopsy found (wasterecyclingnews.com). 
“This is extremely tragic, but of course by no means surprising in Indonesia’s zoos, given the appalling way they are managed on the whole,” reported Ian Singleton, a former zookeeper (wasterecyclingnews.com).  The tragic loss was by no means unexpected as the Surabaya Zoo was discovered to have been losing a handful of animals on a monthly basis, due to negligence and poor living habitation (wasterecyclingnews.com).
