00:00The Zoological Park of 26 is a place that in other times was a symbol of family entertainment in Havana.
00:10Today, abandonment and negligence have turned this space into one more example of the crisis that Cuba is experiencing.
00:19The zoo, inaugurated in 1939, had good and bad times, such as when in 1944 a cyclone destroyed its facilities.
00:30In the 1960s, an expansion was made that included new exhibitions, a clinic for animals and artificial lakes.
00:39However, over the years, the deterioration has been evident.
00:44Empty parks, rusted cages and roads in poor condition are now the reality of the zoo.
00:55Animals suffer the consequences of abandonment and insufficient food.
01:01Activists and citizens have denounced these conditions on numerous occasions.
01:14In the midst of the crisis that Cuba is experiencing, what can we expect from the authorities when not even human beings have basic food?
01:30How much longer can these animals survive in such precarious conditions?
