"This Arowana is so sadden..." my boyfriend gave a comment about Surabaya Zoo's Silver Arowana there.
Can you imagine, one decade ago, when i was little kid, Surabaya Zoo was the biggest zoo in South East Asia, Indonesia was so proud to have one. Years go by, people doesn't care much about animals and natures. In late 90'ies, The City was emerging, we built Mall, Plaza, another Park, and any other entertainment places.
People forgets what they have, till it turned to be something they used to have.
I was so sad to see so many animals died, you can mention about Komodo and Python. Even the saddest part was, a Komodo is the symbol of Surabaya Zoo wrist band, and they couldn't maintain the real one!!
As one of Surabaya's Citizen, I was so mad to whoever in charge there, i saw a Panthera Tigris Sumtrae, Sumatra Tigers almost lost its whole fur. A group of Baboon starving till they ate rubbish near their cave. So many aquariums doesn't have lighting and proper water treatment.
Poor my boyfriend, that was the first time he went there, and he couldn't see how great this Zoo used to be. But still we had fun, fed camels and baboons, saw the tigers, monk at the Lion, and had a conversation with Parrot.
The only thing stuck in my mind is, if i have a child, and i want to educate my children about animals and natures, should i go here? i don't know whether the place is hygiene or not. I don't know if it's safe for my kids to get closer to unmaintained animals. Since my 2,5 years old Nephew plan to go there, I worried about it so much :(
Please someone in charge up there, listen to our worries! preserve the animals so our next generation can see what i've seen a decade ago.....
