i go in there every day. i relive it every day. >> catch more "faultlines" episodes on demand or at aljazeera.com/faultlines. >> welcome to al jazeera. reaction to iran's deal. and the hiring slow down. we'll tell you all about the disappointing unemployment numbers. and outlawing ultra thin. a country known for fashion is has made it a crime to have models that are now to you thin.

>> celebration and condemnation just one day after iran and six world powers agreed on a framework to curb nuclear's program. now it's up to the experts to draft an acard by john 30th. their president said the deal is just the first step towards building a new relationship with the entire world. but today israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said that he and his cabinet are united in opposing that agreement. the white house said it would never sign an agreement that threatens israel's security. jonah hull has more. >> arriving back to a hero's welcome, foreign minister zarif was greeted by supporters. for many here what was achieved in lausanne is the beginning of

the end to iran's international isolation. president rouhani promised a new era of cooperation. >> from the day of the agreement, new corporations in nuclear and in other areas with the world will start a new phase with the entire world. >> but there are power conservative critics of the framework nuclear deal deal, and rouhani assured them that iran reserves it's rights. >> iran will abide by the agreement and will require them to abide by it. if they didn't, then our nation will have alternatives to take. >> some supporters of the deal compared iran's conservative opposition to the israeli government. both see it as a dangerous step in the wrong direction. >> the deal will legitimatize

iran's nuclear program. it would leave iran with a vast nuclear infrastructure, a vast nuclear infrastructure remains in place. >> but for the foreign ministers who personally the elusive agreement over iran's enough program is a spectacular success. perhaps the most hawkish among them stressed its importance. >> if this agreement is not entirely solid that would mean that iran could get a bomb, and this is unacceptable. this agreement is not perceived as solved. that means that the countries of the region such as saudi arabia, turkey etc. could also start think of making a bomb. that could be an nuclear proliferation. >> they said that the result was hopeful.

the chinese called it good news for the world. it's not over yet. on the lake shower in lausanne they agreed on the framework of the final deal to be signed on june 30th. there are details to be worked out and possible pitfalls remain but the end of a dangerous nuclear stand off is in sight. >> direct rights of the iranian studies program at stanford university i asked him if iranians were concerned that zarif had given up too much in these negotiations. >> there are certainly some concerns the conservatives and radicals, they have already begun to say that the negotiating team has given up too much, but every indication from the number of people in the streets, from what mr. rouhani has said, there is a sense of relief and maybe a new beginning has marked the possibility of

iran rejoining the international community as law-abiding member of the world. >> i want to go back to something that you just said. you mentioned this sense of relief. is there any sense of timing around this relief? what about expectations. iranians believe that quick immediate relief will come from this agreement. >> my sense again is most iranians might, in fact, have overoptimistic expectations of how quickly this agreement might turn into a better economic situation. but you can see that even the expectation of a resolution in june has already stabilized currency market, for example it has already indicated to the markets in iran that maybe better economic future is on the horizon. but i too, believe that complete ending of sanctions and the complete resolution of the

economic pressures is going to be some time before they show their reality in iraq. >> and in mentioning those sanctions you talk about the markets. you talk about stability. but let's talk a little bit about the legacy of those sanctions. having them lifted, that's a big deal. give us a sense of how daily life for the average person in iran was affected by these decades-long sanctions. >> i think everyone to different degrees have been affected. not just iran. but many iranians in america have been impacted. if you have an account in the united states bank, and if you so much as use it one time from iran then the government completely takes over the bank and takes over the account and you no longer able to use it unless you get a special release. people inside iran are facing some shortages of medicine. the economy is on the verge of collapse. all of these are the results of

the sanctions. they are also, i think iranians recognize the results of mismanagement by the ac ahmadinejad government, that eight-year period was a remarkable economic disaster. i think clearly if you read the iranian media in the last 24 hours the interpretation of the radicals, is very different in terms of what has been agreed and what has come out of the white house. they clearly indicate that the translation of the agreement provided from the white house is not what they have seen. whether they can actually agree to what it is that they have agreed to will be the first test. and then if the iranian administration can sell it to the radicals in iran, and whether the obama administration

can sell it to the republicans here both are open questions. but optimistic cautiously optimistic. >> you're probably wondering what comes next. first president obama has to sell this to congress. many are opposed to any kind of agreement with iran. stephanie sy talked with white house press secretary whether they should have a right to accept or reject that deal. >> they played a critical role from the beginning. you'll recall when president obama first took office in 2009 the international community was fractured of how to work with iran and it's nuclear program. since then thanks to the leadership of this president and some of the sanctions passed by congress the international community banded together to implement sanctions that have taken a very terrible toll on the iranian economy. we've seen the value of their

currency plummet their oil experts decline and economic growth is moving in the wrong direction in iran. that has compelled iran to come to the negotiating table with the international community. we haven't kept congress in the loop in terms of these negotiations and at some point it will be the responsibility of congress after iran has demonstrated over the long term a willingness to comply with the terms of the agreement it will be the responsibility of congress to ultimately decide whether or not those angels should be removed. we do not believe that congress should take a vote to remove those sanctions any time in the near future because we want to see iran commit to sustain agreement. >> but should congress at least have the opportunity to review the final deal, and sign off on it before it's final? >> well, four decades longer than that, four generations the

united states presidents as described in the constitution are responsible for advancing the foreign policy interests of the united states. at the same time this administration believes congress has an important role to play as it has from the beginninger including the sanctions regime put in place against iran. that's why this administration has been very committed to keep members of congress in the loop as these negotiations progressed. we'll continue to do that because there are still three to four months to go in terms of working through this agreement. >> mike viqueira joins us live from washington. mike you just heard what josh earnest said is this an uphill battle for the white house selling this deal to congress. >> it's interesting how josh earnest is spuing a spin on this and perhaps being a little disingenuous. the white house is fully

expected in turn of the legislative efforts taken by republicans when they get back into town on april is 13th, it's not just republicans. there will be democrats who have angst about this bill, the president's ace in the hole in all of these efforts is the fact that he has the veto, and as it stands right now in the wake of this deal it appears that he will have enough votes to override or at least to turn back an effort to override the veto that is undoubtedly going to come. one of the key points of the controversy are the interpretations between iran and the united states on a couple of issues. chiefly sanctions. iran wants them lifted as quickly as possible to bolster it's ailing economy. president obama said it will be a process over time and contingent with how well iran sticks to the letter, 9 law and

spirit of the agreement. this is a little more of what josh earnest had to say. >> we need to see iran live up to the sustained commitment of this agreement before we take away the sanctions. so what we envision, and what has been true from the beginning when it comes to our negotiating position is that in response to iran's sustained compliance with this agreement, we would see a phased relaxing of sanctions. >> the magic number in the senate 67. the president needs to hold below that any effort any panels of any kind of--any passage of any kind of effort that would scuttle the deal. if he can keep it below 67, then his veto would not be overridden. >> you're talking about sanctions, veto. but what about the other players? how about our allies overseas. are they going to go with this deal? >> it's amazing morgan, when you look at how the white house is approaching this. they're placing as much emphasis

on trying to reach out and build momentum and sell this deal to regional high school lays, arab arab allies in the region. the president had an unrelated event in utah, and as he comes back to washington he calls a host of regional leaders and they are all known to be very anxious about an ascendant iran, and therefore enhanceing it's economic and political clout around the region. something that it's neighbors are very anxious about. >> thank you for joining us from washington, d.c. mike viqueira. saudi officials say that gunfire from yemen has killed two saudi soldiers along the border. and then in the port city of aden shia houthi fighters have backed away from some of the positions that they captured

just yesterday. our own very omar asala has more. >> reporter: the battle is raging. fighters loyal to president abd rabbuh mansur hadi are struggling to cope. >> we're the resistence in aden and we're confronting the houthis. we urge saudi to parachute troops on the ground. there must be forces on the ground. people here are under bombardments. there are deaths and families remain under seen. we can't get to them. but despite the ninth day of the saudi aerial campaign the houthi forces loyal to ali abdullah saleh remain strong and are fighting back. a local tv station in aden says these pictures shows boxes of weapons and a munitionings

dropped by saudi coalition jets for forces backing the president in aden. meanwhile, those loyal to president hadi are engaged in street battles in the city. jets bomb houthi forces and their allies in and around the airport. a number of airstrikes force the rebels and forces loyal to ali abdullah saleh a day after they captureed it. >> they cannot keep that. they were just on the top of the mountains, and last night they had had a very hard beating and i'm sure they're on the iran. aden is a peninsula and these people are blocked inside, the civilians are being hit hard. >> the fight for yemen could be a long one and the number of casualtyies continues to grow. the u.n. says it is concerned. >> i call on all parties involved to make their obligations under international

law, and do their utmost to protect the ordinary women children and men. reports from humanitarian partners in different parts of the country indicate that some 519 people have been killed and nearly 1700 injured. >> china has sent a ship to bring back chinese nationals. but the yemenis remain stranded. >> foreign nationals are being evacuated from yemen as this fighting intensifies. china said it's helping hundreds of people to help people leave. a chinese naval ship took 176 pakistanis from the southern port city of aden and arrived in islamabad just today. russia said that 300 people eastern european country have all arrived safely in moscow. more disturbing details are emerging about that germanwings plane that crashed last week. today investigators say that the

co-pilot andreas lubitz actualliage sell rated the aircraft during it's ascent. this supports the theory that he intentionally crashed the plane into the french alps. all of this from the planes data recorder. all people on that flight were killed. in kenya the government is appeal together government to help track down nine al-shabab leaders who have been described as blood thirsty armed and dangerous. they say the suspects are linked to yesterday's university attack that left 152 people dead including four of the attackers. al jazeera has the details. >> reporter: families in mourning. their loved ones were unexpected unexpectedly and brutally taken away. this truck has been used all day to take bodies from the university to the mortuary. at this military camp we find

survivors, tired trauma traumatized, and some like this student with wounds. christine is packed and ready to be evacuate: she had everything everything. >> they're telling the ladies to move out. so people see it, and they moved out. >> the men were treated more harshly. >> they were just slaughtering them. >> she hopes this is the last time that she sees garissa. >> what i saw i can't come back no. >> the police and the military continue to gather crucial evidence from the university compound. >> the siege ended as dramatically as it had started. those when were rescued are bussed back to their homes.

>> political leaders and security have arrived in the town and have promiseed that security will be improved. >> we want to make sure that their plan does not fall into place. in order to do that, we have to recognize that it's no more business as usual. >> but those who leave here have had all this before. >> this script is the same. an attacker comes. they bring in security. officials come from nairobi. they're here for a few hours and they go back. only for this thing to happen later. >> al-shabab fighters have been promising another spectacular attack like the nairobi westgate mall siege in 2013 where more than 60 people died. in garissa on thursday they lived up to that promise.

al jazeera kenya. >> pope francis is condemning the school attack and asking those responsible to change their violent ways. the pope also spoke of the persecution of christians during good friday at the vatican. he describeed their struggles as christ's path to crucifixion. in jerusalem ultra orthodox jews collected water from the spring used to bake unleaven bread. and according to the bible the jews had to flee quickly they didn't have time to let the bread rise. a year after growth, and plus sacrificing safety to save money? a group of architects push for

better building practices to save homes and lives.

>> investigators in kentucky are trying to determine what caused a huge fire in louisville just

this morning. much of the general electric manufacturing center was completely destroyed. that building known as appliance park is mostly used for offices and storage. the facility was evacuated and there were no injuries, but it did take 200 firefighters to battle those flames. flames. we also have an development on a new jersey fire that we reported earlier this year. a group of new jersey architects have formed a task force to help policy make tours take closer look at materials. john you've been following this from the very beginning. >> it literally hit close to home. this fire that we're going to speak of in a moment happened a mile from my house. the material you speak of as this becomes controversial, a new jersey lawmaker has introduced a bill to stop it from being used in the state up

to two years. but it is being used in 60% of all new residential construction. it's very popular in those sprawling four-tour apartment complexes that are so pre- prevalent in american suburbs coast to coast. >> in january a five-alarm fire spread through this apartment complex in new jersey. and destroyed close to 500 apartments. ever since that fire materials use to build the apartment complex has come under scrutiny. >> it's lightweight construction, with sprinklers, and something you face with this type of construction. >> lightweight wood basically chips pressed and blued together together. lightweight wood industries

truss construction used in homes across the country. >> this is your traditional almoster lumber, and this is your lightweight wood. >> this is the material that does typically burn very quickly because of the amount of glues that are used in this to compress the material and hold it together. >> mahalic is chairing a task force, he'll make recommendations across the state. >> the task was formed, one to be able to explain to the public that you can't just take any 'ol piece of material, put it into a building and use it any way you want. the building code requires you onlyonly certain ways to use

that material. >> light wood construction has been a problem for decades for us. >> associate professor at jon jay college in new york. we talked about the edge water fire. >> what are their wary of? >> they're wary, they worry that the whole floors collapse. >> corbitt said that the main advantages of using lightweight wood construction are time and money. >> it's money saved in terms of material but also time saved in terms of the amount of people required to put up a wood frame a large wood frame building like this. >> and justin mihalik said that

it has gained popularity in the last few years but believes that safety depends on complying with safety codes. >> we don't want to jump the gun and say take wood out because wood is an economic solution and it is the material of choice for this type of construction. it's about how do we make it safer. we reached out to the corporation for comment. they told us that the avalon complex was built according to the fire and safety goals. one goal is to recommend code improvement to policies makers so light-weight wood can continue to be used safely. >> you mentioned these recommendations but a lot of our viewers are all across the country. is this just happening in new jersey or other states. >> i tell you you see these complexes, these lightweight wood complexes all across the

country. they're watching the new jersey case with great interest. if the task force is successful in changing policy codes and the lightweight use, they are likely to advocate this for communities across the united states. >> we her them watching, advocating but really what is next? >> what is next, the leader of this six-person architect task force said that they're going get down to the dirty work of producing a white paper report in which they'll make a series of recommendation force using white weight wood safely. justin mihalick is aiming to have it done by may 1st. they've got a lot of work to do. >> speaking of real estate hillary clinton's recent rental and what it says about her run for the presidency.

and circus animals and ban for their survival.

>> so calenders in the u.s. put the brakes on hiring last month. only 123,000 jobs were added in march which breaks the streak of 200,000 plus jobs growth. and 62.7% of labor force participating, it is still at the lowest level in 36 years. well this morning white house press secretary told al jazeera that that's latest numbers should not raise concerns. >> we're looking at the longer term trends, and those trends indicate that we could have a lot of confidence in the merge economy. at the same time this report does underscore how important it is here in washington for political makers to be constant constantly lag for policies that will be in the best interest of the middle class in this country. >> the labor economist joining us from washington, d.c. this evening.

dr. malvo, always a pleasure to have you with us, first of all but this seems like a pretty big deal. this is the first time since since 2013 that hire asking not stop 200,000 so what gives? >> well, morgan, the other thing happened--i'm glad to see you--the other thing that happened was that that there was enough looseness in the labor market that they would not raise interest rates. people have been waiting to see the federation interest rates because they thought that the labor market would be tightening but it's not tightening at all and janet yellen saw this before the administration did. she probably won't rate interest rates until the end of year but what we're looking at is a very slack labor market with still a third of the people have been unemployed for 27 weeks. >> all right, all right. give us then the big picture then. the unemployment rate is 5.5%.

but some analysts are saying in general employment is still doing pretty well, true or false? >> well, first of all it depends on who you are. while the over all rate is 5.5%. for african-americans it's 10.1%. and when you adjust it, it's more like 11%. that's the first thing. how you're interpreting the rate. the second thing that one might want to look at is we're certainly doing better than a year ago. there is no deniability. we're doing better than a year ago. but we're not doing well enough. congress has blocked anything that slightly smells of extra spending city and states are not spending money. in fact, they're cutting. that could stimulate employment. teachers social workers are losing jobs, not gaining them. it depends on where you stand. people are having a hard time.

if you're a professional you might be doing okay. but people at the bottom are still talking about getting a better minimum wage. again, it depends on where you are. unfortunately, the people who make public policy, don't live at the bottom. whoever says it is doing well, they're looking as himself or herself and their neighbors. >> you said its different for blacks better than a year ago but you mentioned minimum wage. employers like walmart and mcdonald's are now increasing wages above minimum wage. what are your thoughts about that? >> i think it's a good move and it's a response of how low the minimum wage is. if someone is working minimum wage she usually a woman is

living below the poverty rate. companies like mcdonald's wanted to get ahead of the curve. the unions have been calling for this. president obama has been attempting to get an increase to the minimum wage across the country. many jurisdictions, including the district of columbia, seattle, some parts of california have a minimum wage greater than the federal minimum wage. so the trend is to raise the minimum wage. people like walmart have a huge market share and studies have shown that raising the minimum wage will only cost them 1% of their profits so why not. morgan when people spend money it stimulates the economy. but when you have no money to spend you scant stimulate the economy. that's why full employment is not only good for individuals but it's good for the economy. >> dr. malvo, thank you for

being with us. >> thank you. >> now speaking of big companies you've all heard of chrysler cars. well that company has been ordered to pay millions to the family of a boy who died inside a burning jeep grand cherokee. now the owner of the company promises to appeal that decision. the company must pay $150 million to the family of a four-year-old who was killed when the jeep exploded after being rear ended since the fuel tanks are mounted without structure to protect them, the jury said that the company acted with reckless disregard for human life. five years ago on this day more than two dozen coal miners were killed in an explosion. their families, however, are still seeking justice. lisa stark reports from virginia. >> reporter: this is one of the memorials to the 29 men who lost their lives the west virginia coal miners. it was an explosion in the upper

big branch mine. and it happened five years ago. but emotions, especially monk family members are still raw. >> it hurts. but in a sense it feels good to talk about it because you're interested in my family. and what i once had. my son had a beautiful smile a great big heart. he loved life. >> many blame the strategy on the company that owned the mine, massy energy, and on its ceo donachie blankendon blankenship. the company had wracked up mum

russ violations and now blaineenship has been charged with conspiracy to mine safety. he has pled not guilty. >> you can see the full report right here on al jazeera america. hillary clinton signed for two floors of a brooklyn highrise. an election candidate is allows just 15 days between the filing of official paperwork to run. jason johnson is professor of political science at hyrum college. thank you so much for being with us. >> glad to be here. >> it looks like hillary clinton has obtained her headquarters. does this erase doubt that she'll officially run.

>> i don't know where anybody had any doubt. hillary clinton has been running for president since bill got elected president. are they going to make another fast and furious? of course they are. hillary clinton has made it clear that her intention was to run for president. she's going to be head quartered in new york. it's a great place for them to raise money and where she has been senator. this is parts of a long process where this was going to happen. >> this is a bad spoiler alert. >> yeah, there is no spoiler. >> is she waiting for an issue that is important for her to just rally around? what is she waiting for? >> i think that is going to happen. i think some day some time during the year that was key to the clinton information key to her personal journal clinton will put down their flag and say i'm running for president. to be perfectly honest, the entire campaign of 2016 does not begin until hillary makes her announcement.

>> now let's talk about the other side of the aisle those republican candidates you just mentioned. rand paul is expected to announce on tuesday and even marco rubio teasing a very big reveal on the 3rd. how serious are they as contenders for the g.o.p. primary? >> they're incredibly serious. these guys all believe they can become president of the united states. but the catch is they is there is a difference between being viable and electable. being electable is winning the general election. rand paul is electable but he's not viable. he can't beat george bush or jeb bush or scott walker. a lot of these guys think they can win but the reality is they won't.

>> the scale of electable and viable where does jeb bush fall in all of this. >> jeb bush is both. that's why he's considered a frontrunner. he could win a head-to-head contest against hillary clinton. jeb bush could definitely win his party's nomination. i said all along because of the amount of money he can raise and the connections he has the republican nomination comes down to jeb bush and scott walker. i give scott walker the edge, but it boils down to those two. everybody else is waiting for those front runners to slip up. >> hadn't he already slipped up? he has been quiet in the past month or so. didn't jeb still licking his wounds on his statements on indiana. >> of course he is, and he probably has a horrible bracket, too, but that doesn't change the fact that jeb bush recognizes he's the most important person in the room. he already managed--he edged out

mitt romney. mitt romney is not in the race. he has more money than anybody else. he does not have to rush. and jeb is recognizing that he's lucky. he has not been in elected office since 2002, but he's only being quiet now so he can pounce during the summer. >> basically you're saying that we're looking at another clinton--bush run. and if it is a remix, hillary clinton will end up winning the race. >> jason johnson professor of political science from hiram college. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> seven months after the racial tensions over the shooting of michael brown residents are about to head to the poll. america tonight's brings us the story of the two faces of ferguson. >> on streets of unrest, the community slowly picks up the

pieces of its community. protesters have made it clear but a new campaign is in full swing. the contenders know that the eyes of the nation are on them. two-thirds of the ferguson resident are black but yet the current city council only has one black member. there are three open seats. the victor will determine if the ferguson city council stays majority white or divides equally between black and white members. >> what inspired you to run? >> it's the death of michael brown. >> she has had her own hurdles to run. >> i went from being on government assistance to government employee, now here i am in the biggest election in the country. >> i grew up here. >> mike mcgraph is canvassing the same it was and a half aware miles that makes up the first

ward. but he's running on a different pratt form. pratt--platform. >> what are the main changes. >> the change has been in the race make up. going from a community that was primarily white to now primarily african-american. >> how big of a racial divide is there in ferguson. >> you will not find a single street in this town that is any one race. it's white black black white. that's the way it is in the community. >> ferguson is divided people don't want to admit that ferguson is dwighted or has been divided, but i believe you need to address the problem and not dance around the problem. >> what do you think the biggest issue facing the community of ferguson right now. >> fear, fear. the fear that the system will never change, won't ever be fair will never offer them opportunity. >> for mcgrath, it's to keep the ferguson that he grew up in.

>> let the community be a community. people who dislike people for being people. >> but for the residents who want to see a different ferguson that fight will have to move off the streets and into the voting booth. >> we can change things in ferguson for the rest of the world it's just a matter of time for things to get better. christof that was a political line to take the fight from the streets to the ballot box. are black voters expected to turn out. >> historically they have not really turned out. last year in the election only 6% of registered blacks voters turned out. which is much lower than the rest of the country compared to 17% of registered white voters. no one really knows. there have been rumors that suddenly a lot of people registered to vote after michael brown was shot but no one knows. we're going to find out on tuesday. >> that's also interesting

because black voters don't generally turn out as they do nationally. >> black people in ferguson tend to be younger and we know that older people vote more. and homeowners vote more and in ferguson those many are renters. there is not the same big names to draw voters out. >> the rah-rah-rah. >> they're hoping there is the rah-rah of people who want to see a different face in the local government.

>> i think this election is going to tell us a lot about everything that is going on in the united states right now. >> christof putzel. thank you for joining us. >> be sure to watch the rest of christof's report on america tonight, 10:00 p.m. eastern and 7:00 pacific. an alabama man walked free today after spending decades in prison for a murder he never committed. he was released this morning after spending 30 years on death row for an legend double murder. he also had a message for the people who put him in prison. >> i sat on death row for 30 years. all they had to do was test. but when you think you're high and mighty, you think you're above the law. i got news for you. everybody played a part in

sending me to death row you'll have to answer to god. >> the tests failed to prove that the bullets used in the murder matched his gun. >> throughout the month of april we're taking a closer look at some of the challenges and solutions face organize fragile planet. every year the average american throws away 200 pounds of plastic. but ghana has found an interesting way to stem that tide. >> this is how most people buy drinking water in ghana. these plastic bags are cheap and convenient but they often end up littering the street. this company collects about 200 bags a month. they clean dry them, and then

they get creative. they produce bags and other accessories that they sell to customers all over the world. it's a social enterprise trying to raise awareness of the environment. >> our shopping bags made of sashays. if people use those when they go to the grocery store when they go to the market or stores and use those every time they reduce the amount of thin disposable plastic bags. you buy a bottle of water in store and they put a thin plastic bag around it. >> they also use the plastic from billboards, and the plastic waste ends up in grounds like this one. it's carried out to sea and then ends up being washed back ashore. beaches that would otherwise be tourist attractions are being

spoiled. it can take up to a thousand years for this plastic to degrade. they say if attitudes don't change fast the damage being done now can effect the country for many generations. al jazeera ghana. >> just ahead. shipwrecked at sea. the sailor's amazing survival story. and making ultra thin ultra illegal. a country known for its flair for fashion cracks down on skinny models. stay tune.

their doors for good, says mexico's circus workers oceans. now these animals are in limbo. these animals have been in storage for the last couple of months puerto rico the owners of the circus are pay forgive their up keep, but it's not something that can last forever. what will happen to them when the ban goes into full effect. >> they're going to die. who will maintain them. the circus people don't have the money to maintain them. >> the government will look at zoos and sanctuaries to take on the animals but many don't have the space or resources for new arrivals. >> it worries me because many are mutilated clawless and toothless. they're not going to find good homes in zoos and sanctuaries which don't have the infrastructure to care for them. >> the future remains unclear for these animals and the
