Buenos Aires closes zoo as 'captivity degrading'
Buenos Aires said it is closing its 140-year-old zoo, as "captivity is degrading" to animals and "not the way to take care of them." The 2,500 animals will be moved to nature reserves. The zoo, which has been criticised for its treatment of animals, houses orangutan Sandra, who made headlines when a court declared her "a non-human person" deserving rights.\n
