Kyiv Zoo received 17 tons of animal feed from European zoos
On June 10, 2022, Kyiv Zoo announced the receipt of humanitarian aid for animals of zoos of Ukraine. Tierpark Berlin, Zoo Berlin (Germany), and Loro Parque (Spain) sent professional long-storage pellets for different animal species. Part of the received feed will be sent for animals to other zoos in Ukraine.
4r tons of fodder will be delivered as soon as possible to the Mykolaiv zoo, which suffers the most. 2 tons will soon be transferred to the Odesa zoo, 800 kg to Rivne, and 400 kg to Cherkasy. The rest of the feed will be distributed among other zoos in Ukraine according to the individual needs of the animals.
As a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, many animals died from the shelling, and even more animals are slowly dying of starvation. Nevertheless, Kyiv Zoo operates in the park mode — outside expositions, bird lakes, and an arboretum are available for visitors.
