Our members staged a protest against cruelty of animals in Nagaland zoo. Recently there were some major problems in zoos. Zoos nowadays fail to maintain good quality surroundings for animals. Animals are made to live in confined cages where we cannot move freely like they live in wild. Our survey of some Indian zoos showed some disastrous status of animals living there. We are not against Zoos we just want them to maintain and give a peaceful place for the animals to live.
According to morungexpress.com “Activists of People for Ethical Treatment of Animal (PETA) staged a protest outside Central Zoo Authority (CZA) in the Capital on Thursday. There were just two members representing PETA, who wanted to draw attention and express fury at the recent incidents in which a leopard died in the zoo and two bears were killed by poachers for their bile inside the Rangapahar wildlife sanctuary in Nagaland.
During the protest, one of the PETA members disguised himself in the attire of a bear and lay in a coffin with sign board above it reading “Un ‘Bear’ able cruelty-Zoo’s are death traps”.
“We have decided to protest today outside Central Zoo Authority because people generally believe that animals are very happy staying in a zoo, which is not true. Wild animals should be set free in their natural surroundings. And all these incidents of killing of animals in zoo and the recent incident of deaths of two bears in Nagaland has forced us to stage a protest today,” said Sachin Bangheria, one of the protestors and PETA member.
It may be recounted that apart from these deaths, there have been reports of a couple of felines having died at the animal rescue centres where these creatures are meant to be looked after with utmost care.”
