When this poor emaciated looking water buffalo was revealed in "Shut Down Bandung Zoo now" petition update, Cee4life/Sybelle Foxcroft, the English speaking partner for the Bandung Zoo as always, protected the zoo and lied. (This excerpt was taken from Cee4life response to the petition update in their face book page) Here is what she said:
"We really dont know where this buffalo is from. Its a very old photo by the looks of it, but those types of bars with the fencing isnt in Bandung. There's a possibility that it was there, but would have to be many years ago. No one knows about the buffalo"..."We at Cee4life can tell you that while we have been at the zoo, we've never seen this animal. However just to be certain that for some unknown reason we may have missed this very large animal after being there for the last year..... we have double checked with the Veterinarians and can confirm that nobody knows about this animal or where it comes from. But it is certainly not in Bandung Zoo and no one recognises this animal or where it is from. We cant even confirm this is Bandung Zoo as the enclosure its in looks nothing like what is there for the bovine animals"
Does Cee4life really believe that an emaciated looking water buffalo could still be alive??? It is not an old photo, the date 23rd July 2014 can be clearly seen on the side of the picture!
The picture above showed that the water buffalo's enclosure is situated next to the camels' enclosure.
Below is the original picture of water buffalo and take note of the yellow buildings and camel's trough and camel circled, in yellow.
The picture below shows the camels' enclosure looking into the water buffalo's enclosure. Note the arrows pointing at the camel's trough, yellow building and the type of enclosure next to the camels'enclosure where Sybelle Foxcroft said, "those type of bars with the fencing isnt in Bandung"
Q.E.D! I rest my case.
