emaciated

In-bred, emaciated zoo lion; these majestic beasts have had a raw deal in Asia.
The asiatic lions in the wild - mostly in Gir Reserve, Gujarat, India- have a precarious existence. While all seems to be well as of now, experts warn that there is a clear and present danger of some unfortunate epidemic wiping the stock out. As it is, they face human encroachments and ensuing conflicts.
The Government has solutions before it - relocating some stock elsewhere as expert studies have suggested, but things are caught in a bureaucratic maze and public indifference.
