Zoos are stinking, frightening depressing hell holes for animals. London zoo in Camden is in disrepair, smells to high heaven and most of the animals [visible from the canal and Regents Park] show signs of distress and depression.

Girraffes who should have miles on natural land to run in stand in a tiny concrete block, bears who like to have somewhere to take cover are exposed on fake rocks and curl up while displaying head nodding etc, the bird enclosures are shit encrusted minging pits that can be smelled from some way away, the "wild" dogs are in a small cage where they can see domestic pets running free in Regents Park, they don't even bother to pace but sit with their heads hung low.

Zoos stink! Close them down. They are not used for "conservation" but as a money spinner. While big glossy posters costing thousands are all over Camden the zoo is falling to bits, the animal's sheds are disgraceful, the whole place can be smelt from the road, park and canal...and it's mostly the smell of shit that isn't cleaned up. It's horrible and the animals have to live in it.

Any Animal Rights activists from Camden feel like shutting this shithole once and for all?
