Months of protests in Ukraine have led to President Yanukovich 'leaving the building', as they say.
Now the gates of his luxury palace have been opened to the public and amongst the predictable excesses, a private zoo and farm have been revealed, absolutely full of caged domestic and exotic animals.
I'me very worried for their welfare. They must cost a fortune to feed, and is there anyone left there to do it? Staff won't be paid now and would they have stayed anyway, now the President's fled? It's depressing that the absent president collected all those animals and then just abandoned them to their fate.
If anybody has heard what's happening to them, please post!

Maybe this refuge is still in the Crimea and could help?
