My personal sharing. Last year July, I had the opportunity to be a volunteer together with some of my colleagues at Zoo Negara. As for me and my groups, we helped to clean the tigers and lions den.
I love animals so much since young. Seeing animals and wild animals in the zoo does make my heart break because it's not their natural habitat.
Unfortunately, we also live in a dangerous world where animals especially wild and endangered species are being poached, killed, abused, and day by day, these species becoming extinct. It's not a straightforward topic honestly, nothing is easy. There are pros and cons to everything.
I've been to Zoo Negara many times since I was a kid. Based on my observation these years, they are trying their best to conserve and care for the animals as much as they could. I've decided to support what I can by 'Adopt an Animal' initiative under Zoo Negara.
Today I adopted the Malayan Tiger, and hope to adopt more animals in the future. This financial support will help to maintain the animal(s) annual food, enrichment and veterinary care. It will help even more during this tough time because the zoo is close, but the animals still need to be taken care of carefully.
Adopt an animal starts from RM25. Adopt and donate as many as you can and hopefully with more support, these animals will have better lives. Here's the link to adopt an animal https://www.ticket2u.com.my/event/18171/zoo-negara-adoption-package
A side note, I urge everyone to be more aware especially when we bring children to zoos is to educate and instill love for animals. Don't mock, knock, poke, shout, throw items and being disrespectful towards the animals. They are living being and have feelings. Let's pay some respect because that's the least we can do.
All lives deserves support, love and respect.
