Current Events

It is a sad news

but the big question is why even have a zoo? the whole country is like giant zoo with strange creatures such as seyd ali, an, larigani, rafsenjani, mousavi you name it. Creatures that are so unique that there should be high demand for them from al the zoos in the world. I hope some one with money and influence  buys this stupid zoo in tehran and return these animals to wilderness where they belong.

Islamic republic of Iran

does not kill innocents . These lions must have been "Mofsede fel Arz" or "Moharebe baq khoda" .

Russian Tiger is to blame!

The Soviet Union( Russia) is  believed to have been interested in B. mallei as a potential BW( biological warfare) agent after World War II.

B. mallei is the bactria responsible for the disease( glanders).

To Mr Reza

Hey reza , I have no idea what amde you feel you have been Garbage for the past 1500 years?? Could you explain your self why you feel that way? I am sure most Iranian do not feel that way. I am Iranian and I proud to be Iranian.

My bet

My guess is that a Mola has got into the cage at night time and the poor animals have eaten him and all have got poisoned.

What's wrong with Mullahs? Did we run out of women and children?

After murdering the people of Iran so wickedly, now the mullahs are turning their eye on anything that is more intelligent than they are.  This game of theres will come at a very high price for them once the time comes for a fresh new start.

Reza Pahlavi our original lion will restore freedom and justice, we just need to give him a chance and actively voice our support for change.  Freedom is near, spring is coming, Islam in government is going.

This is a very sad news

This is a very sad news and I hope they can stop this disease/progression to other animals. We just visited San Diego zoo for the first time and seeing these magnificent animals up close.

Good question, how many ?!

The only question to ask. Frankly, the only relevant comment here.

I hope

they didnt kill the cubs. How many Lions did Tehran zoo have anyway? 14 for just one zoo is way too many! I've never even thought we had that many lions in Iran!

IRI killed'em since lions are SHAHI! Shah'e jangal & on flag!

They don't want anything that represent the shah's time. You are not going to see Soosmars gettign killed, since they represent the arab moslems! It is all conspiracy, isn't it simorgh?

Simorgh, may I ask how old you are? I ask that since you wrote that 6 years ago you had political awakening! Wondering what takes so long? We woke up 31 years ago, right after the revolution.

This animals in this zoo should all be removed and replaced by mollahs and everyone in the regime. Then we should shoot'em! 

"God is love!"

I beg to differ. I HAVE  visited Tehran Zoo 6 years ago before my political awakening. I saw first hand the squalid conditions and cages which the lions and other wild cats. Maybe you should take a trip there yourself and then compare it to the other zoos you have visited. 

The murder, yes, MURDER, of these lions is no different from the treatment of human beings. Human compassion starts from respect for small creatures and if the IR terrorists have no respect for the animal kingdom and the landscape then they have no respect for Iran or its human inhabitants.  

The IR terrorists are not human however, They are not animals. They are not even Neanderthals. they are pieces of amphibian crap.  

Simorgh, this is about animals, not politics

It's happening all over the place, nothing to do with IRI. 

Wild animals, for a start, should not be kept in cages.

Another victim of the Terrorist Islamic Republic

The Islamic Republic has taken over a million human lives

The forests are being cut down to make way for condominiums to house the ever growing population of Iran.

Now these beautiful animals are the latest victims of this inhumane evil terrorist regime which values the life of an invisible superstitious non-existent hidden Imam over normal Iranians.

The lion is the symbol of Iran.  

People in Iran are starving and sellign kidney in the black market?

Solution: Give the money to Lebanon and Palestine

Lions and animals eat rancid meat and caged in squalid conditions?

Solution: Give the money to Lebanon and Palestine

Death to the Islamic Republic. I pray to Ahuraz Madza to save this country from the evil yoke of Islam the dirty religion.  

 Lanat be Mohamad va ale Mohamad.  

It's always sad to see wild animals die

because of infectious diseases inflicted upon them by humans.

Tehran

City of death! Havent they heard of antibiotics and Isolation! They should know that killing is not always the answer.

@Vattan I don't understand...

I know this may be a little off topic but it's something that has always bothered me. Where does this mentality of "Look what we were, look what we've become" comes from? We' been garbage for the past 1500 years. We can try and blame it on Arabs, Islam and the mullahs all we want, but at the end of the day we have to accept that for the most part, we're pretty crappy bunch of people.

When Human 's life has no value what do you expect ?

These were our national treasures and one after one they get vanished. This is real sad. My Father used to say when the Shah gone he left behind bunch of treasures, places, Jerewly and etc... but when the Mullah will be gone I am wondering what would they leave behind???  Vahean chi bodeem va cheh shodeem . I guess we are moving toward another country like  Afghanistan or Sudan. Even they are doing better than us these days.
