This is one of the world’s most notorious zoos, and it is located in Cumbria, England. More than 500 animals have been reported dead over the past 4 years, and has attracted the attention of both animal lovers worldwide and the Captive Animals’ Society (CAPS).
Founded by a man named David Gill, the South Lakes Safari Zoo had fallen to various inspections led by CAPS due to the onslaught and overwhelming number of accusations thrown at the management – with reference to the zoo’s animal abuse.

Animals were left trapped in tight concrete spaces – with little to no water and food.
