Malik is a 12-year-old lion who lives at Chemnitz zoo in Germany. His partner, Kimba, died earlier this year following an operation. Now Malik is the only lion at the zoo, and he deserves to be properly retired.
An animal losing a companion is a big deal. Now, Malik is all alone and getting old. Visitors have reported that he looks thin and unhappy. A life alone while thousands of visitors gawk at you is no life for an aging wild animal.
It is wrong for wild animals to be caged and staged for human entertainment. Especially when an animal is in distress, we must keep speaking out to change how people see zoos. One animal at a time, we can move toward a more humane life for animals and a world with fewer underfunded zoos.
