Guest guest Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 China Daily 13th December 2001 http://www1.chinadaily.com.cn/hk/2001-12-07/47091.html Many animals have died after a zoo was closed down because of poor management in Haikou, capital of Hainan Province, reports Sina.com. Chen Xingguang, Jinniuling Zoo general manager, said the loss-making zoo could not afford enough food and proper accommodation for the animals. The dead animals include a tiger, a giraffe, two black bears, a camel, seven deer, five white swans and a zebra. Two cranes and a wild goat had died earlier this year. The zoo was opened in October 1998 and its debts amounted to more than 500,000 yuan (US$60,240.96). POSTER'S NOTE: See: http://www.aapn.org/zoopage.html scroll down to Haikou, Zoo 4.
