It is shocked to read the report of Plant and Animals Welfare Society ( PAWS ) Mumbai that civic-body run Byculla zoo is in very bad shape and in poor condition. It has been observed that wild animals who are sick are been kept in a very pathetic condition and atmosphere with not a single enclosure had water health care natural habitat facilities for the animals and they are not been cleaned on regular basis even the trees are not been water for many months which proves that zoo staff is inefficient and not qualified. Some of the enclosure are empty and animals are being put in small enclosure without any natural habitat and they are up for display are either they are injured or sick. Despite ban of plastic bottles in the zoo premises it has been noticed that many plastic waste and gutka pouches and cold drinks bottles have been found every where including in the enclosure which has exposed the working of the zoo staff. I strongly feel that since the zoo is being maintained with the taxpayers money it should be shut down till BMC provides proper basic amenities to the animals. Since all the enclosures are very old the civic body must try to zoo makeover or it should be shut rather than making the mockery of it. It is hoped that zoo authorities will look seriously in this matter and see to it that it should be made in good condition for animals to love in comfortable condition.
