Deer-mocking action at the zoo in Belarus: an individual played a horn and consumed from a straw
A disturbing incident has taken place at the Minsk Zoo, where a visitor was caught on camera harassing a deer. The incident, which occurred a few days ago, has sparked outrage among users on social media, with many calling for action against the offender.
According to the footage, the visitor approached the deer's enclosure and proceeded to pull the deer by its antlers through the fence. The visitor also poured soda into his hand and fed it directly to the deer, behaviour that experts consider inappropriate and potentially harmful.
The Minsk Zoo has confirmed that the deer is currently fine, but the incident has prompted them to strengthen animal control measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. An investigation is underway regarding the incident, and details about who is responsible and the proceedings of the investigation have not been provided at this time.
Users on social media have expressed concern about the absence of zoo workers during the incident, with one commenter stating, 'Horrible! Where were the zoo workers at this time? They could have given it water.' Another user emphasized the need to hold the visitor accountable for their actions, stating, 'They should be put on a list. This is animal abuse.'
One user even suggested that the visitor should be treated in the same manner as the deer was, stating, 'Why don't we put him in a cage instead?' Another commenter pointed out the need to report the videos to the police, as it is animal cruelty.
The Minsk Zoo, under the responsibility of its local management, typically overseen by a director or an appointed authority within the Minsk city administration, has not yet provided further details about the incident or the ongoing investigation. However, they have assured the public that they are taking the matter seriously and are taking necessary steps to ensure the safety and well-being of their animals.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of treating animals with respect and care, and the need for zoo visitors to follow the rules and guidelines set in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all animals.
