GAZA - Five lions, five monkeys, four ostriches, three peacocks, two wolves and a hyena departed Gaza for Jordan on Sunday, after being rescued from a Gaza zoo where many animals died of starvation and lack of care.
The animal welfare group Four Paws international carried out the relocation, which also included dogs, cats, foxes, porcupines and 10 squirrels. Jomaa had come under intense criticism by animal care groups after a series of recent deaths and mishaps. “It is a tough decision, I feel like I am losing my family. I lived with some of those animals for 20 years,” Jomaa told Reuters, saying that economic hardship left him with no choice. “I hope they find a better place to live,” he said.
