[3] An article published in 2011 talking about the poor condition of the animals at the zoo prompted a couple of Australian expats to invest in the facilities of the park under an NGO called footprint.

In the article, the owner of the zoo blames NGO and the government for not giving him money to run its operations.

The article sparked outrage in the zoological community and many NGO, individuals and companies started getting involved to help the zoo.

But division between in the orientation for the park between the owner and the NGO after a dispute on an unknown subject broke the partnership.

Reports from both the NGO and media stated that the animals were still living in subpar or even dangerous conditions.
