Hi, I haven't heared any issues with animal treatment in Hungarian zoos (moreover the news I can recall reports continous improvement, like expanding getting renovated/modernised, etc.)
I have no idea about the Serbian ones or the rest of the world. We've just completed a QR-project with a zoo in Hungary; it might be interesting for you. Find the documentation (google translator needed as it is in Hungarian-only) here: http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia%3AMiskolc-m%C5%B1hely%2FGLAM-ZOO in short: 80 articles were (mostly significantly) improved plus 34 new created (114 articles in total) and the same number of QR codes put out and our cooperation won't stop here :) If you're concerned about animal treatment, think about something else then, for example botanical gardens :) Also a QRpedia project, also recently completed, but not finished (as the cooperation will continue beyond mainenance) with the country's largest and most prestigeous botanical garden and also Hungarian-only documentation: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:N%C3%B6v%C3%A9nyek_m%C5%B1helye/V%C3%A1cr%C3%A1t%C3%B3t Both were conducted by Wikipedia project groups thus both had a team of editors behind them.
