Left to fend for themselves among the dead, the tragic animals stranded in Gaza zoo as it falls apart after weeks of Israeli shelling
The lions sit dazed in the shade of their damaged pen, while nearby the decayed carcasses of two vervet monkeys lie contorted on the grass of a Gaza zoo.
The animals were caught in the crossfire of fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants that has killed more than 1,960 Palestinians and 67 people on the Israeli side.

He pets a lion? I’ve never heard of that before. Why doesn’t it bite him?
The zoo might have been put there for the sake of generating stories like this one.
I prefer animals to people. Hope something good happens for these poor trapped beasts.
So you see how “humane” the Palis are. To their wives. To their kids. And to helpless captive animals. Turn their cities into glass. That’s what they deserve. Hopefully, 72 copies of Helen Thomas await them.
They have a zoo?
