I just don't get it. What kind of person would purposely poison and animal...especially when they are in a zoo? I believe that God gave us dominion over the creatures of this earth, and will hold us accountable when the time comes, for just how we executed this privilege. Shame on anyone who abuses animals in ANY way.
JAMBI, Indonesia -- An investigation is under way after authorities determined that an endangered Sumatran tiger and two African lions found dead at an Indonesia zoo died from poison, officials said Wednesday.
Peter, an 8-year-old male tiger, died in its cage Aug. 17, a week after it was found paralyzed at Taman Rimbo Zoo in Jambi province on Sumatra island, said Nurazman, an official with the local Conservation and Natural Resources Agency.
The lions – Gebo and Sonia, both around 3 – were also found dead Aug. 17, said Nurazman, who like many Indonesians uses a single name. The lions had been transferred to the zoo in July from a zoo in West Java.
Nurazman said autopsies showed that the three animals died from poison. They were believed to have eaten meat tainted with a chemical used to kill rabies-infected dogs.
