Zoo animals are starving to death at Venezuela's zoos

Venezuela is no stranger to crisis. In recent years, the South American country has been on the brink of economic collapse.

A drastic fall in oil prices, which provides almost all of Venezuela's foreign income, has been followed by a severe recession and widespread food and medicine shortages.

For Venezuelans, the scarcity has led to choosing between waiting in hours-long lines for basic food supplies or succumbing to sky-high prices on the black market.

That scarcity has now spread to Venezuela's zoos, where food shortages have left some animals emaciated or even dying.

Those beautiful animals are caged for sub-humans enjoyment. They have no voice and no choice. Cage the humans and release the animals. Cruelty on display. Disgusting.
