Zoo's Fence Fiasco: A Debated Decision
A court case is brewing over the fence.
The Omsk inter-district environmental prosecutor has filed a lawsuit against the Bolsherechensky Zoo, with the contested issue being the zoo's constructed fence.
According to the proceedings in the Bolsherechensky District Court, the zoo erected a barrier 1244 meters around two forest plots along the Big River, encompassing the Victory Forest Park territory. The zoo reportedly spent approximately 2.8 million rubles of budgeted funds on this endeavor.
As stated, the forest plots were allocated to the Bolsherechensky Zoo in 2023 for recreational activities, not for the housing and exhibition of animals; the project for utilizing and fencing the forest plots does not specify such arrangements.
The court has sided with the prosecutor, ordering the zoo to demolish the fence, reclaim the spent funds, and rehabilitate the land.
The Bolsherechensky Zoo's stance remains undisclosed.
