More on the cold problems in Jaipur Zoo
An interesting video clip which primarily refers to the deer deaths (Link posted on Zoo News Digest yesterday) but shows a bit more of the zoo and other animals.
I was at Jaipur Zoo some days before the deaths of these animals occurred and I left feeling very depressed about the conditions some of the animals have to suffer. The Indian Fox is trapped within a bare cell, with no outside enclosure to run about in. Some monkeys seemed to suffer a similar plight. Most depressing of all was a hyena engaged in repetitive behaviour as a result of stress. One of the bears was trying to dig a tunnel out of the place. I'd like to email my feelings directly to the zoo but I can't find an email address.
