Bayamon Zoo in Puerto Rico
Primates, big cats, deer, hippopotamus, and other animals are being kept in primordial cement slab habitats within a facility that has failed to meet even the most minimum of standards of animal care imposed by the Animal Welfare Act.
If you made it to this site, you are probably aware of the petition to help animals living in deplorable conditions within el Parque De Las Ciencias in Bayamon, Puerto Rico.
Petición en Espanol:
Contact the newspapers listed on the top right to let them know that Puerto Ricans need to pay attention to the conditions in which these animals are living and that they need to do something about it.
Las condiciones en las que se encuentran los animales en el Parque de las Ciencias demuestran la apatia hacia los animales en nuestra isla por los mismos servidores publicos que se supone que protejan los derechos de los ciudadanos y que respeten las leyes como la Ley 67 (La Ley Protectora de Animales de Puerto Rico) de la que Policias, Tenientes y Sargentos en Bayamon no aparentan conocer.
Mis derechos fueron violados cuando fui, acompanada de dos oficiales, a poner una querella criminal contra el Parque de las Ciencias. Los derechos de estos animales tambien han sido violados y siguen siendo violados por la falta de respeto, la corrupcion, y la ignorancia que esta surgiendo en Puerto Rico. 
Petición en Espanol:
Write Puerto Rico's Tourism Company and let them know that you don't agree with the conditions that these animals are being kept in and how their citizen's rights are being violated in order to protect political agendas.

UPDATE!
The Mayor of Bayamon solicited for a hotel chain to build within el Parque De Las Ciencias. Holiday Inn accepted the proposal and will be building a brand new hotel, which is said to attract tourism to the city of Bayamon...(article on www.municipiodebayamon.com, fourth article down).
How is it that they have room to build a brand new hotel, but they do not have room to build spacious and adequate facilities for these animals????
Let Holiday Inn know that they should be embarrassed to partake in this project and that you will not stay in their hotel if you ever visit the island. El Parque de las Ciencias needs to take care of their current facilities before building any new buildings!

I've been there a couple of times and I wrote some emails to them about that situation a while ago--no one ever answered. Most of those animals need more space and they look bored. They could use some toys or objects to entertain themselves, that have been very useful in other zoos.
