Eight newly procured animals have died in Dhaka Zoo. The Ministry of Fisheries & Livestock allotted Tk 5.5 crore for the purchase of the new inmates. A total of 87 animals were added. Of the total, 27 rare species were bought from South Africa. Death of these eight animals caused the government a loss of Tk 60 lakh so far. That raises questions about the zoo's management and capability of taking care of such animals. The government should look into the matter seriously.
