Ica Zoo:
We have heard rumors and confirmed reports about the terrible situation of animals in a private zoo in Ica. Gerald Pool has worked hard on getting a official government request for help for those animals. Columbia has offered to send in a team of zoo vets to administer medical care and assess the condition of those animals.

Best Friends article - "
A great compassion for their pets’"
excerpt from article:
"Faced with increasingly frustrated earthquake victims and concerned about possible mass euthanasia of dogs, the Best Friends team in Peru is working intently to protect the animals now and moving a bit more cautiously as it gathers information for a longer-term solution."
