Head of Ukraine's Oldest Zoo to Euthanize Its Animals Due to Russian Attack? - Nature World News

After Russian missile assaults devastated cages, animals at Ukraine's oldest zoo will be tragically euthanized.

Because it is only 64 kilometers from the Russian border, Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-biggest city, has been hard struck by enemy troops.

The zoo sits on the city's northern outskirts, considerably closer to Russia.

Oleksandr Feldman, a member of parliament and the creator of the Kharkiv ecopark, believes there is no way to save them from the devastating zoo grounds.

After the Russian bombardment, a devastated Ukrainian zoo is putting all of its animals to sleep, as per Mirror.

The huge animals will be put down, according to an MP and the proprietor of an ecopark in Kharkiv, because there is no way to save them after the zoo was damaged.

According to Feldman, the Russian bombardment destroyed the attraction.

Because there is no way to remove or transfer large animals, they will be put to sleep.

According to the zoo's website, it houses about 6,000 animals.

In a video message, he delivered the heartbreaking news of what had occurred, as well as the terrible news that a rescue is doubtful.

He stated, "There is no longer an Ecopark."

He can say that the park has already been nearly entirely destroyed as a result of yesterday's bombardment.

Animal cages have been demolished, as has all infrastructure, yet tigers and lions have somehow survived. Their enclosures have been severely damaged, and they are free to go at any time.

The structure in which the bears dwell is in a bad state. they'll have to make a decision today. He told them they had until the evening to decide whether to euthanize them or relocate them.

The zoo's director stated that there was nowhere else they could take the animals, but that they planned to rescue some of them by adopting younger large cats.

However, he said that all adult animals would most likely be euthanized because they cannot be salvaged or re-homed.

One month after Kyiv zookeepers created a modern-day Noah's Ark to avoid the invasion, the painful choice to destroy the animals was made.

The animals were rescued from a shelter in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, and have safely arrived in Poland after a terrible six-day journey.

Animal Euthanasia

The phrase "euthanasia" refers to a technique of death that reduces the animal's suffering, anguish, and worry before it loses consciousness.

Due to situational limits, techniques utilized in situations like pest management, slaughter, or depopulation may not always fit the requirements for euthanasia.

Animal slaughter, depopulation, and compassionate killing vary from euthanasia in that they are carried out for purposes other than relieving an animal of unresolvable pain or anguish.

Animal euthanasia is a routine operation done by veterinarians; yet, due to the importance of the deed, it demands careful consideration.

The killing of healthy animals when no other option for their treatment can be found is one of the most difficult euthanasia choices that veterinarians must make.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
