With a deep concern for the protection of zoo animals' rights, photographer Li Ziyi has been focusing on zoo photography during his tour across China over the past four years.

These photos, taken between 2010 and 2014, capture the sad moments of caged, emaciated animals and what seems to be abuse to creatures involved in commercial shows.
