It was not only people who suffered damage from the indiscriminate shelling of Russian troops.
This is because the shelling destroyed zoo facilities, killing some animals, and euthanizing wild beasts with high risk of escaping.
According to foreign media such as CBS on the 7th local time, the 'Feldman Ecological Park' Zoo located in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city, suffered from shelling by Russian troops for the past month.
The zoo's founder, Alexander Feldman, revealed in a statement that "the Feltmann Ecological Park no longer exists" and revealed what the zoo looked like after shelling.
In the released video, animal protection facilities such as fences were destroyed.
"The bear's condition is not good, but miraculously, the lion and the tiger survived," Feltman told inside the zoo.
He also feared, "If the zoo facilities are damaged even once more by shelling, large beasts may escape and attack the residents of nearby villages."
"The most important thing right now is the lives of the people," Feltman added.
The zoo said in another statement that the lions almost came out of the fence.
"Euthanasia of animals is an extreme measure," the statement said.
The zoo has already evacuated some animals, such as kangaroos, but it has been confirmed that evacuation of wild animals such as bears, lions and tigers is difficult.
In the case of large carnivores, which are wild beasts, proper facilities can be evacuated to evacuate, as it is difficult to provide such facilities.
The zoo said, "In the end, we have no choice but to think about euthanasia," and appealed for help.
In the end, some people who felt sorry for this made an online donation so that some wild beasts, including lions, could be moved outside the bombardment area.
The zoo expressed its gratitude to local netizens for their support, but continued to ask for their support, saying that many animals in the bombardment area are still in danger.
