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.

stop this barbaric way of keeping animals locked up. get developped and act like normal people.
this sick animalabuse mentality keeps a lot of people out and away from your country. in the western world we are not pleased with this kind of philosophy towards animals!!!

statements by: Gerard Baars /EAZA-TA&AW working group :
about reports about conditions in belgrade zoo:
TAKING PICTURES AND MAKING JUDGMENTS ON THEM NEVER CAN BE THE GOOD WAY TO MAKE ANY COMMENT- NOT ON THE GOOD ASPECTS – NOT ON THE BAD ITEMS. ALTHOUGH MANY ASPECTS HAVE TO EB CHANGED- THE ZOO IS NOT IN SUCH A DEVASTATING CONDITION THAT HERE ANIMALS SUFFER
about orangutang Vanja (and relocation):
THIS ANIMAL WILL BE EITHER RELOCATED OR ANOTHER COMPANIANSHIP WILL BE FOUND- UNFORTUNATELY THE ANIMAL IS A HU=BRID- SHE IS NOT TO BLAME FOR THAT BUT THEREFORE SHE CANNOT ACT IN EAZA BREEDING PROGRAMS,
Regarding Twiggy the elephant not having access to daylight (during witner) :
THIS IS UNTRUE. THE ANIMAL HAS AROUND 1000 M2 OUTER FACILITIES AND IN PRINCIPLE SUFFICIEN INDOOR SPACE. WE LOOK EITHER FOR RELOCATION OR COMANIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER OLD FEMALE-AFTER THE NECESSARY RENOVATIONS OF THE SITE
