Justice, clarification of the truth and jail for the killers of Gustavito the hippopotamus
people signed. Let's get to 20,000!
Addressed to: General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of El Salvador and 7 more
For many years our zoo animals have suffered violence from unknown workers and people and have never been brought to court. In El Salvador there is no culture of animal protection and it is necessary to let the public know that there is a jail for anyone who attacks against every creature. We want protection, food and veterinary care for all animals.
According to the official report, Gustativo, of 16 years and more than 1,500 kilos, the only specimen of this species in the Central American country, suffered "bruises and lacerations on the head and body" that he could not overcome. Because of the type of injuries, authorities believe he was attacked with stones, ice picks and sharp irons. The animal had deep cuts in the snout and head, so the experts deduce that he tried to defend himself.
