Editing Surabaya Zoo (section)

==Villainy==
The zoo, despite being the largest in Indonesia, is known throughout the world for being a place where animals are tortured and killed. In the zoo, animals live in inhumane conditions, most of them suffering from malnutrition and dying many a year.

Among the most serious examples, is that of a herd of pelicans living in a very small cage in which they cannot exercise, a white tiger who crushed his tongue because of poisoning, a baby lion that died stuck in a wire of steel, a trotuga who died when ingesting plastic bags, a giraffe which found 18 kilos of plastic in his stomach, among other cases, which are mostly the fault of the negligence of the administration of the zoo.

An online petition that calls for the closure of Surabaya Zoo due to continued mistreatment of animals reached 885,000 signatures before closing in late 2016.
