What about animals?

Published December 4, 2014

THIS refers to the news report about the Peshawar zoo, which will provide best and attractive arrangements for visitors and tourists.

This news item mentions nothing about the animals. What will be the quality of their life? Will the enclosures being built for them be in accordance with modern concepts of zoo keeping?

What about their diet, their keepers and veterinary care? Some assurances about these matters will be appreciated by a few concerned citizens who feel Peshawar is not yet ready to maintain a zoo.
