Yeah, that's sad. Unfortunately zoos in the old Eastern bloc have very little money. They can't (generally) care for their animals even under normal circumstances. Such zoos should be closed down and the animals sent to the bigger, more open range and 'natural' surroundings type zoos like some of the ones in Canada or Australia.
Other Western nation zoos should have taken care of them a long time ago.
the worst part was that the SAME GUY who had been taking care of him pretty much both their entire lives had to watch him get shot! 35 years since the elephant was a baby. :( i like elephants. i am sad.
