Just in case it’s tricky to read …
SIAMESE CROCODILE
This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia.
Over the last 75 years more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.
The zoo, part of the London Zoological Society (ZSL) told HuffPost that the sign had been in place for several years, but has only just found fame on Twitter.
And here are our favourite things people said about it.

This is art. We need more unexpected activism from “normal” places like this. Even though usually the zoo has some sort of conservation connection, this level of “shock” is 👩🍳🤌

I’m here for it. We need to know how accountable we are for our actions. https://t.co/fYOcdafDPA

I have a picture of that empty terracotta pot too, it spurs me on when I think everything is lost. Keep standing up for our environment. pic.twitter.com/lsjTx6msG0
