During times of turmoil and civil uprising anywhere in the world, animals are often neglected - whether they are domesticated or exotic. There was the 2012 story of the massacre at the Okapi Conservation Center in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - 6 people and 13 okapi were killed by rebels. I am not saying animals are more important than people, or that they are as important. I am only saying they are often forgotten, and this is unfortunate.
With the ongoing unrest and violence in Egypt, this story - about the zoo animals in Cairo - has been released. This reminds me of an awesome graphic novel by the man who wrote for Lost and Under the Dome - Brian K. Vaughn - called Pride of Baghdad. It is a fictionalized account of he real life story of four lions that escaped from the Baghdad Zoo during the American invasion of Iraq. You can purchase it on Amazon here.
