Damage of Baghdad during Iraq War

2)  Baghdad Zoo: just after 8 days of invasion in 2007, only 35 out of 700 animals in Baghdad Zoo survived. Some animals were stolen for human food while some died after being caged for days without any supply of food and water. Only some zoo keepers alone with South African Anthony Lawrence cared for the animals that survived by providing them with food and water.
