Singer calls for release of Bua Noi, who has spent almost all her life at zoo in Bangkok shopping centre
After freeing the “world’s loneliest elephant” from a life of misery in a Pakistani zoo, Cher has turned her attention to the plight of another animal: a gorilla who has spent the past three decades at the top of a Bangkok shopping mall.
Bua Noi, a female gorilla, was first brought to Thailand in 1988, and has spent almost all of her life in an enclosure at Pata zoo, a private zoo that has long been criticised by animal welfare campaigners.
