As Libya rebuilds after its devastating conflict, stories are beginning to emerge about the suffering of not just human, but animal as well. Tripoli's main zoo has been shut down for 10 months, since the revolution began, putting rare and exotic creatures, including a liger, at risk of fatal starvation. Al Jazeera's Imran Khan reports from the Tripoli zoo, where a zookeeper says it was his duty to help protect the animals, "a national treasure", despite the dangers.

The Tripoli Zoo was abandoned during fighting in Libya's capital few days back Left to fend for themselves during the chaos, the zoo animals weren't given food or water for seven days. Although the fighting has ended, the animals are still in crisis. With low resources and few workers, the animals aren't getting enough food. What's worse: there is almost no fresh water, and in the sweltering summer heat of Northern Africa, fresh water is a necessity for survival. The residents of zoos are often the first to be neglected when cities are hit by man-made or natural disasters. CNN Senior International Correspondent Nic Robertson discovered a dire situation at the Tripoli Zoo, struggling to function as a nationwide conflict rages around it. Robertson found the gates locked and was told the zoo was under renovation — that there were no animals there. But a big cat's roar told a different story, and Robertson followed the sound — underscored by the echo of gunfire in the distance — to find enclosures holding a tiger, lions, giant tortoises, hippos, hyenas, bears, monkeys, deer, emus and more. All the animals appeared undernourished and struggling as they waited for food and for water where there was little or none to be found. A tiger, loose skin hanging on its frame, prowled its enclosure when it sensed visitors.

Tripoli zookeepers say the animals there are living in desperate conditions and the zoo is without the resources necessary to maintain the animals' quarters. VOA's Brandon George has the story.

Animal Rescue to Libya: Another Four Paws International animal rescue is launched -- this time to war-torn Libya and it is the animals of Muammar Gaddafi's personal zoo that need the attention of the dedicated vets and volunteers that risk their lives to enter these life-threatening zones. Left to fend for themselves during the chaos, the zoo animals weren't given food or water for seven days. Although the fighting has ended, the animals are still in crisis. With low resources and few workers, the animals aren't getting enough food. What's worse: there is almost no fresh water, and in the sweltering summer heat of Northern Africa, fresh water is a necessity for survival.Media personality Jeremy Mansfield and his ex-game ranger wife, Jacqui join the team and its all hands on deck as the team help prepare ice-lollies for bears, dish our fresh Lucerne to shell-shocked hippos and give vital vaccinations to the lions. Some tough decisions need to be made about saving Osama... a very old tiger on his last legs...

Four Paws international once again kindly invited me along on their latest disaster relief effort.
