Report | The situation of The National Zoo.

Ariful Islam, Dhaka, and 22 February, 2015: Many spectators come to visit the National Zoo at Mirpur, Dhaka. Most of the spectators become disappointed to see the miserable condition of the zoo. At the entrance gate, there is a cage of monkeys but truly speaking, the cage is kept dirty and all the monkeys live in a polluted environment and most of them are weak. The lion’s cage is in the same condition. During my visit there some pieces of rotten meat were found on the floor of the cage. The lion too looked very feeble. The Royal Bengal Tigers in another cage have lost their real appearance. The people coming in the zoo could hardly recognize whether they were Royal Bengal Tigers or not. Other animals in the zoo are in the some state. One of the officers of the National Zoo said “These wild animals cannot adjust themselves to this new environment because they are born in the wild and so they should stay wild. They look weak although they eat sufficient food. Another officer Said, Sometimes we can’t supply sufficient food to the animals has increased now. So the budget of food supply should be increased without dely. Otherwise, almost all the wild animal’s life will be in danger.
