Zoo in bad shape
I had the opportunity to visit our "great" Dhaka Zoo the other day. What a joke! There was rubbish thrown about everywhere. The animals looked depressed and under-fed. The cages were too small. People visiting the zoo were teasing the animals with no zoo keeper to warn them. If the zoo authorities are incapable of maintaining it as per international standards, then there is no reason to keep this zoo open. I felt so sorry for these animals and wondered how these zoo keepers would feel if they were locked up in these cages instead.
Animals too have feelings just like humans and its about time Bangladeshis begin to realize this.
