Blind Lioness Alma, one of the 47 Starved Animals at the Zoo. 

The NGO, WildatLife makes an urgent appeal for support. An African Zoo with endangered wildlife species had left 47 Wildlife species on the brink of death. 4 Lions, 2 hippos, 2 porcupines, dozens of monkeys, elks, red neck ostriches, turtles and a one hyena left to suffer in appalling conditions. 
Location: Republic of Burkina Faso, West Africa.

WildatLife.e.V: On inspection of the 112 hectares Zoo, the team found dozens of endangered species on the verge of death. Hungry, weak and exploited for profit at every stage of their lives. The more that was inspected, the greater the horror that witnessed. Our partners, ‘The Association for the protection of Fauna and Flora’, located in Burkina Faso had called our NGO for urgent assistance. We have since implemented this urgent fundraiser and started the feeding programme and legally closed down the Zoo, so that we can save the 47 Animals and provide them with the urgent care that they need. 

The 4 captive Lions are believed to be of West African Heritage, with only 400 left in the wild it is even more shocking to know that such critically endangered species has been treated so abhorrently.

Most of our images are just too horrific to print, like the last breathes from the dying Porcupines.
 The 2 porcupines left to rot and starve to death in this cage.

While documenting the harrowing abuse, we immediately implemented a feeding programme for the 47 Animals in horrific conditions.
