Feldman Ecopark will shelter more than fifty animals from a zoo zone of Dnieper which is closed since September 1. After the questions of transportation, inoculations and veterinary control will be settled, animals will move from Dnieper to the Regional Landscape Park. Here after two-month quarantine visitors of Ecopark will be able to get acquainted with them.
“When the situation in Dnieper will improve and appropriate conditions for animals keeping will be created, according to our arrangements we will surely return all the animals who temporarily settled down in Ecopark. Moreover, we will be glad to share also other animals, we already repeatedly transferred pets within programs of exchange to the Kharkiv Zoo, zoos of other cities of Ukraine (Kiev, Lviv, Lutsk), and also abroad (in particular, to the Jerusalem zoo) — the director Feldman Ecopark Andrey Roshchupkin noted. — Transportation of animals from Dnieper, construction of open-air cages for them, providing with food and leaving is a serious additional burden on Feldman Ecopark. But we agreed to help without thinking”.
“Our position is unambiguous: animals shouldn’t suffer from closing of a zoo zone. Therefore Feldman Ecopark has responded to the offer to help pets — the deputy director of Ecopark Valery Ivashchenko tells. — We are sure that they will feel comfortable in Ecopark: here they will get new spacious open-air cages, healthy nutrition, comfort care, and, of course, attention from our numerous visitors”.
Among animals who will arrive to Ecopark are a brown she-bear, a camel, wolves, foxes, monkeys, porcupines, lamas, deer, fallow deer, a raccoon, a raccoon dog, boars, goats of different breeds, donkeys, rabbits, and also birds.
We will remind that Feldman Ecopark is a volunteer project of the International Charitable Foundation “Alexander Feldman’s Fund”. Now it’s collection totals more than 2 000 animals of 200 species.
