Friendly support from our colleagues from Germany and Austria
🙏❄️ This winter has been a true test for us, with harsh frosts and relentless attacks from Russian aggressors aiming to leave us without heat and light. Yet nothing can break our free Ukrainian spirit, especially when we feel the genuine support of our European friends!
🎁 Right now, in the depths of winter, Kyiv Zoo has received an incredible humanitarian shipment—22 tons of high-quality professional animal feed. This includes a total of 1,261 bags for various species, including birds, primates, hippos, turtles, and other animals. One of the most valuable features of this feed is its long shelf life, eliminating the need for freezing or thermal processing.
🐾💚 We are truly thankful for the ongoing support from our amazing friends in Austria and Germany – our colleagues from Zoo Berlin, Tierpark Berlin, Wilhelma Zoologisch-Botanischer Garten Stuttgart, Berufsverband der Zootierpfleger e.V., Karlsruhe Botanical Garden, Zoo Krefeld, Zoo Vienna Schönbrunn and Alpenzoo Innsbruck – Tirol.
☝️ As Gandhi once said,: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by how it treats its animals.” Here, the humane treatment upheld by Ukraine and the EU stands in stark contrast to the barbarism we face. Goodness will always triumph over evil!
