The conditions in Belgrade Zoo are simply atrocious. The cages and enclosures fall way short of an acceptable standard. The environments are so removed from these animals' natural environments, which will obviously cause repetitive psychotic behaviour. Cages and enclosures are incredibly small and offer no stimulation.
The Polar Bear is living in a 2,5m high and 2,5 m long/wide cage, on the concrete floor with the view on the wall…His life is so poor that words cant ever describe it…He is walking from one side to another side of the cage (two steps is needed) and banging his head on the fence... while his bloody eyes are looking no-where.
Animals in Belgrade Zoo live in bare enclosures and undoubtedly, years of depravity, lack of stimulation and being confined to too small concrete cages have resulted in stereotypical behavior witch is displayed by these severely distressed Animals.
Animals have no stimulation, many have no companionship of their own kind, and all are obviously bored, anxious, and in distress.
This is not surprising, as any living creature would suffer similarly under completely unnatural circumstances.
Instead of attempting to mimic the natural surroundings of each Animal, bare cages, cement, and dirt are all that can be seen.
Jaguar chewed his tail /self mutilation/; Wolfs are walking with a tails beneath their legs /fear/, Fox is sleeping all day (on a concrete floor on -10C in Winter time and more than 30 C in Summer), Monkeys in a very poor condition… Crocodile in a 3x3 pool…
Sadly, this list is too long...

I knew I created a thread for Belgrade Zoo.
Here's the latest news...quite disturbing though it's more likely that the man was drunk and fell or was murdered then dumped. See Jeza's email to Monika posted on News to Note in the Balkans. Here's the news to note.
Bears Eat Man at Serbian Beer Festival
A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival. The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage.

Message (You can customize as you wish):
Dear sir/madam,
I am writing this letter to express my deep concern for animals in Belgrade Zoo.
The Animals in Belgrade Zoo live in bare enclosures, and show obvious signs of distress and illness. Instead of attempting to mimic the natural surroundings of each Animal, bare cages, cement, and dirt are all that can be seen. The enclosures in which the Animals are housed are substandard, by any measure of decency.
Undoubtedly, years of depravity, lack of stimulation and large Animals being confined to too small cages have resulted in stereotypical behavior being displayed by animals that are severely distressed. Animals have no stimulation, many have no companionship of their own kind, and all are obviously bored, anxious, and in distress.
Please, do all that’s in Your power to help to protect and save Animals from Belgrade Zoo, while there is still time left for those Animals to live.
Kind Regads,
(Your Name)
