According to eyewitness reports, the network of these facilities keeps animals in inadequate conditions and offers photo services with them, violating the Law &#8220;On the Protection of Animals from Cruelty.&#8221; The court accepted the lawsuit and began hearing the case.<\/p>\n<p>A few months later, in December, the <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">court suspended the proceedings<\/span> to gather all necessary materials, <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">requesting evidence of an inspection from the State Environmental Inspectorate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that in September last year, a journalist from <em>UAnimals Media<\/em> completed an internship at &#8220;Zviropolis&#8221; and published a report about the experience. According to the journalist\u2019s testimony, the conditions in which the animals are kept do not meet their needs. This claim was later confirmed by a former employee of the zoo, who also shared details about the working conditions at &#8220;Zviropolis&#8221; with <em>UAnimals Media<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2024, UAnimals filed a statement with the police, <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">demanding an investigation into the animals&#8217; living conditions<\/span>. The State Environmental Inspectorate claimed it found no violations. However, whether the inspection actually took place remains unclear.<\/p>\n<p>Want to support us?
