He died rather young pa. Nasa 40 plus palang sya eh elephants in captivity daw umaabot hanggang 80 plus ang lifespan tapos they have no clue kung anong sakit nya. Biglaan sya namatay eh, malamang hindi nao-obserbahan ng maigi ang behavior nya. I remember Paul Mc Cartney and other international celebs pleaded to free Mali before... Sana binalik na lang sya sa Sri Lanka where his family is.
Napag-iwanan na ng panahon ang Manila Zoo. It's too small to begin with. Nangangalingasaw ang amoy at nakaka-trauma sa mga bata ang makita sa kulungan ang mga animals. So cruel!
Buwagin na yan! Daming isla sa pinas, pick one where the animals can run free!
15 years ago nag visit kami jan, galing kami Probinsya, excited kami first tima makakita ng elephant then nakita na naman pero nalungkot lang kami, sad ang situation nya paikot ikot sa maliit na space nya, from then on ayoko na pumunta sa mga zoo kahit sa ocean park never pa
Para kang bumibisita ng mga preso no? Yan ang feeling ko first time kong nagpunta ng Zoo at hindi pa sa Pinas ha. At mukhang ok nman ang Zoo but nakabakod kasi ang lugar nila.
Elephant life span up to 70 years old, pero ikaw ba naman ilang dekada ka nakakulong at di na nakakita kauri mo ma stress ka talaga mas gusto ko na rin mamatay
hndi ba dpat ilalagay sa elephant sanctuary si Mali sa Thailand? all his life nsa zoo siya. nkklungkot. ung mga animals they have no voice. they dont deserve us.
Time ni Erap. May explanation din ngayon si Mayor Lacuña. Still doesn't add up, mas marunong pa mga pulitiko kesa sa mga animal welfare conservatories. Galing no?
Sad lang na her last days walang ibang elephants siyang kasama. Sana dinala na nila sa ibang bansa para maging happy naman siya before she passed away😢
Tapos kukuha uli ang Manila Zoo ng elephant? Tigil na kayo sa kakaalaga ng elephant tutal hindi naman kayo marunong at hindi ginive up siya, knowing na mag isa lang si Mali sa enclosure
Manila Zoo asked Sri Lanka about their promise years ago to donate another elephant to them... Obviously, pangpalit nila kay Mali. OMG! Please Sri Lanka stop donating elephant to us!
Etong mga zoos, sana man lang kung herd animals iwasan na lang nila mag-alaga kung mag-isa lang sya in captivity. Sobrang depressing nyan to be constrained in a small space at hindi man lang makasalamuha kauri nila.
Never forget what Erap said when we got offers of assistance for Mali's welfare: "Mali is just one elephant and sending her to Thailand would be embarrassing. It means we are not capable of taking care of one animal." Another better zoo in subic also offered to take and care for Mali. Pero presidente nyo nga nga.
Wala talaga magbibigay ng Elephant sa Pinas at buti nalang. Kung binigay niyo nalang sa Thailand or ibang bansa may redeeming factor sana ang zoo na they can do the right thing. Nagmatigas ang Manila zoo kasi main attraction si Mali, hay nakakalungkot. Kawawa ang mga animals sa atin kasi mga walang puso at puro pera ang iniisip ng Gobyerno at mga mayaman.
Feel ko she died from stress and Siempre hinde nabibigay ng attention? Like check up and mga gamot. Jusko last kita ko diyan bata pa ako If I’n not mistaken 7 years old? That was like 25 years ago.. may gawd my age! Hahahaha
Nakita niyo naman place ni Mali ang liit liit. Ewan ko ba baket pa pinayagan yan at pumasa sa standard sa animal welfare e. Tapos parang tinitipid pa siya. Binibigyan kaya yan proper medication , food nakita mo naman surroundings niya Ma usok. Magulo malapit pa sa mga kotse pollution hay naco
Zoos are cruel they shouldn't exist at all. Instead of that why not put the animals in a protected sanctuary or conservation parks. They're still in a controlled captivity but at least they're free to roam around. And only bring animals that cannot be released back to the wild because of safety reasons. Get a trained keeper that will treat them humanely and most important is to feed them well.
May function ang Zoos which is education and preservation. There is a kind of Zoo that is more like an open safari like the ones in Germany and Japan. The budget is high so sobrang alaga ang mga animals at limited ang human interaction, they make the zoos more 'wild' than a commercial venture. Kung walang zoos, the younger generation will have a lesser degree of possible interaction and interest sa wildlife andnither animal species. Knowledge helps people become interested in the care and preservation of ajimals on the planet. Pero dapat may budget at hindi puchupuchu. Sa China, may panda preservation zoos sila. May jobs nga, to care and hug the baby pandas kasi need ng baby pandas and nurturing pero wala silang maraming panda parents so while the population is low, humans muna. They can do that kasi may budget at commitment para sa preservation ng species. Super involved sila sa preservation ng pandas.
I agree, noon bata pa ako tuwang tuwa ako kasi wala pa akong alam, gusto ko lang makakita ng live animals. Ngayon matanda na ako narealized ko na mali pala, mali na maentertain ka sa animals na held in captivity. Kaya nagstop na kami maganak magpunta sa mga zoos.
My heart breaks for animals like Mali... Most of his life, wala syang ibang elepante na nakita at nakasama. Gift pala sya from Sri Lanka nuon, sana binalik na lang sya sa family nya. I really don't like zoos. Wild animals should be in the wild, not held in captivity. Rest in Peace Mali.... I really hope there is heaven for animals like you and all our deceased pets where you all are free, happy and safe.
nung bata pa ako tuwang tuwa ako pag nakakita ng mga animals sa zoo. but as i get older i realized na these animals don't deserve to be in these cages, they deserve to be in their natural habitat. i feel bad for mali. di nya deserve na namatay syang ganyan na walang kasama at nasa hawla lang ng ilang taon. dapat nyan i-abolish na mga zoo sa buong mundo. kawawa mga animals, piniperahan lang ng mga politiko.
The only zoos I support are the safari ones where they're cared for and bred to help their species. The caged ones are awful and should've been outlawed ages ago.
With the length of time na she was alone, wala na talaga siya chance to survive even with other elephants, malamang irereject lang siya. Kumbaga parang sinumpa na siya to live the rest of her days in solitude. Sobrang kawawa lang nya. Mabuti na rin at kinuha na siya ni Lord to end her suffering. Hopefully lang, this would serve as a lesson sa bansa natin, regarding zoos and humane treatment of animals. Sana si Ma'ali na ang kahulihulihang elephant or zoo animal na mamamatay in that condition.
Ang mga elephants, big numbers silang magkakasama. It doesn't matter if may nakitang cancer kay Mali or wala. Point is, inhumane pa rin na ikulong sya for decades at walang kasama. Actually yung ikulong na nga lang sa zoo, inhumane na. Cruel, cruel people. This is why I never support zoos. Oo, may magandang dulot sa ating mga tao (learning, recreation, study and observation, tourism) and yes, inaalagaan sila. Pero nothing compares to them living in their natural habitat and interacting with other animals.
At isa pang nakakalungkot na balita, gusto pa raw mag-request ng Pinas ng panibagong elepante mula Sri Lanka na kapalit ni Mali. For goodness sake, can they just please stop?!
Kawawang elephant. Ito ba yung elephant na sobrang payat? Sana if the zoo is going to raise them in captivity, do the research muna.
ReplyDeleteYes. Mali was coined by the international press as “the loneliest elephant in the world”
DeleteAt 40 years na walang kasamang kauring elefante. Dapat binalik na lang siya, or at least pinadala sa Calauit para makasagap ng sariwang hangin.
DeleteRun free, Mali!
He died rather young pa. Nasa 40 plus palang sya eh elephants in captivity daw umaabot hanggang 80 plus ang lifespan tapos they have no clue kung anong sakit nya.

DeleteClose that zoo and let go of the animals! It's pathetic and heart-wrenching, hindi nakakatuwa!
DeleteAwwww RIP Mali. She could have lived up to 70-80 pero 52 lang si Mali. Be happy in paradise Mali.
Deletenkakasad nman. Run free Mali.
ReplyDeleteSad, Mali should have lived a life that is beyond those metal fences.
DeleteSobrang kawawa ng animals dyan. Inuna kasi ang aesthetic kesa sa well-being ng animals
ReplyDeleteNapag-iwanan na ng panahon ang Manila Zoo. It's too small to begin with. Nangangalingasaw ang amoy at nakaka-trauma sa mga bata ang makita sa kulungan ang mga animals. So cruel!

ReplyDeleteWhat a waste of life and a sad one. Mali didnt belong to the zoo in the first place. I feel bad for the animals not living in their natural habitat.
ReplyDeletehndi ba dpat ilalagay sa elephant sanctuary si Mali sa Thailand? all his life nsa zoo siya. nkklungkot. ung mga animals they have no voice. they dont deserve us.
ReplyDelete12:08 dapat pero risky if ginawa.. ikakamatay nya rin kaya di na tinuloy
DeleteYes kaso daw bec sa age nya
DeleteParang kay lolong lang sayang yung pagiging record holder. Nawaley dahil sa stress.
ReplyDeleteKinukuha na kasi ng rescue, ayaw ibigay.
ReplyDeleteTotoo ? Kelan yan? Hinde ko nabalitaan yan. If ever na rescue siya saan siya dadalhin?
Delete1:25 sa sanctuary Thailand ata
DeleteTime ni Erap. May explanation din ngayon si Mayor Lacuña. Still doesn't add up, mas marunong pa mga pulitiko kesa sa mga animal welfare conservatories. Galing no?
DeleteI'm happy for Mali. Finally, free na sya.
ReplyDeleteSad lang na her last days walang ibang elephants siyang kasama. Sana dinala na nila sa ibang bansa para maging happy naman siya before she passed away😢
DeleteNot just days, she has not seen her king for the last 4 DECADES!!!
DeleteMe actually..sad that wala man lang syang freedom, but happy ako finally free na sya..
DeleteTapos kukuha uli ang Manila Zoo ng elephant? Tigil na kayo sa kakaalaga ng elephant tutal hindi naman kayo marunong at hindi ginive up siya, knowing na mag isa lang si Mali sa enclosure
ReplyDeletei doubt na kukuha pa ng elephant. walang budget yan. di na nga nagkaroon ulit ng giraffe. saka wala na ring hippo sa zoo
DeleteManila Zoo asked Sri Lanka about their promise years ago to donate another elephant to them... Obviously, pangpalit nila kay Mali.
DeleteOMG! Please Sri Lanka stop donating elephant to us!
OMG mix emotion.. finally free na si Mali.. then wala na yung Icon ng Manila Zoo.. and please wag na kayo mag attempt palitan ng panibagong elepante.
ReplyDeletePalitan na yang zoo! Di na siya naaangkop ngayon, nakaka-trauma pa kung bata ka.
Delete😭😭🙏

ReplyDeleteAnimals should not be confined in a small area. They need a big space so they can run wild and free. Kaya kawawa talaga yung mga kagaya nya.
ReplyDeleteRest in Peace in Heaven's open spaces, our pachyderm friend. 🙏

DeleteAll that needs money. As always, walang pera sa pinas para sa ikagiginhawa ng buhay ng tao, hayop pa kaya?
DeleteThese animals should live in their free habitat. Hindi kinukulong.
ReplyDeleteUtang na loon sana wag na kukuha ng elephant para pampalit hay mag ra rally talaga ako sa labas if that happens

Elephants and other wild animals should be living in a Safari not Zoo. Anliit na zoo ba naman.
ReplyDeleteA LIFE WASTED
ReplyDeleteAm happy for Mali. He's now free from all his misery. Maraming salamat, Manila, sa pagpapahirap sa kanya.
ReplyDeletenung bata pa ako tuwang tuwa ako pag nakakita ng mga animals sa zoo. but as i get older i realized na these animals don't deserve to be in these cages, they deserve to be in their natural habitat. i feel bad for mali. di nya deserve na namatay syang ganyan na walang kasama at nasa hawla lang ng ilang taon. dapat nyan i-abolish na mga zoo sa buong mundo. kawawa mga animals, piniperahan lang ng mga politiko.

ReplyDeleteThe only zoos I support are the safari ones where they're cared for and bred to help their species. The caged ones are awful and should've been outlawed ages ago.
ReplyDeleteTotoo! Wala namang matinong research na nagaganap diyan sa Manila Zoo, tigilan na yan oi! Sayang ang space, kawawa pa ung mga animals!
DeleteYung dinonate nga diyan na malaking sawa namatay din. Parang di naman ininform yung nagdonate.
ReplyDeleteWith the length of time na she was alone, wala na talaga siya chance to survive even with other elephants, malamang irereject lang siya.

ReplyDeleteMali didn't even get to experience freedom all his life, you're free now.RIP
ReplyDeleteThanks Mali. Kahit di kita nasilayan man lang.
ReplyDeleteYou're now free!

Tapos humihingi uli si mayora ng donation na elephant sa Sri Lanka (as per BBC article)?!? Yikes!
