470,162 supporters have signed the petition "Shut down the Bandung Zoo now!" on change.org to stop this abuse and shut down the zoo for good.

The creator of the petition, P Holmes, has updated the supporters on the latest response of Animal Asia, regarding the issue. Here is the whole update: https://www.change.org/p/president-widodo-shut-down-the-bandung-zoo-now/u/19105016

The ultimate goal to shut down the zoo is a longer process, but if we keep at it, I do think it will be possible to do so. But the first goal is to relocate these bears to a sanctuary where they can have a normal and healthy conditions for life.
