WEST JAVA - More than 700 animals at the Bandung Zoo in West Java are at risk of going hungry as the facility grapples with a severe financial crisis triggered by an unresolved legal battle between rival management groups.

Zoo spokesman Sulhan Syafi’i said the remaining funds for animal feed will only last until Dec 10, and, so far, the zoo has received no emergency assistance from either the Bandung administration or the central government.
