Zoo flaws need tamingIt has been two weeks since the fatal shooting of Suriya Saengpong, head of the Zoological Park Organization of Thailand (ZPOT), while on an inspection trip to Songkhla Zoo. Songkhla Zoo is never short of scandals. Songkhla Zoo officials could not give much of an explanation, only saying one of them was eaten by a python. The case of the missing animals at Songkhla Zoo is just the tip of a wildlife iceberg. The authorities should be aware that the fatal shooting of the zoo official in Songkhla was no ordinary crime.
