Pictures online show an animal, probably a fox, in serious condition, weak and unkempt, at the Vâlcea Zoo, provoking the fury of Internet users and animal protection organizations. The Kola Kariola Association is calling for the immediate closure of the zoo, the transfer of the animals to specialized centers, and investigations in all zoos in Romania. The local authorities claim that the zoo provides welfare conditions for the animals, but critics suggest otherwise.
