The plight of the rail-thin lions in Al-Qurashi Park in Khartoum set off an outpouring of sympathy and donations from around the world. At least five lions, both male and female, once inhabited the zoo. One lioness died of starvation last week.
"I don't understand why no one was given the task of feeding them or how authorities could just overlook this," he said, describing two of the remaining four as in critical condition, "dehydrated ... a third of their normal weight." The head of the park, Bader el-Deen Wassim, was more optimistic. He said the recent flurry of international attention will allow authorities to "expand and renovate the park," and promised the lions' health was improving. He expects Sudanese authorities to release the group's medicine on Wednesday."Their muscles are not even able to move," said Khalil. "I don't know how we'll be able to do injections.

Animals should NOT be caged for any reason. Shamefully it happens all over the world.
I heard they were starving due to a country wide food shortage and $ issues... is this not still the case?
