Suffering at Indonesia's "nightmare zoo"

A moon bear which suffers from a skin tumor sits inside a cage at the quarantine section of Surabaya Zoo in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia Saturday, March 10, 2012.

Set up nearly a century ago in one the most biologically diverse corners of the planet, Surabaya Zoo once boasted the most impressive collection in Southeast Asia. But today the zoo is a nightmare, plagued by uncontrolled breeding, a lack of funding for general animal welfare, and even persistent suspicions that members of its own staff are involved in illegal wildlife trafficking.
