Zoo does not accept birds - afraid of bird flu

There is no organization that shelters would be found in the street and rescued animals from death

In early July, members of the St. Petersburg zoo seal Irina fired at will. Her along with 13 tyulenyatami nerpyatami and find some residents of Leningrad region and "surrendered" zoology. Over own myagkoserdechnost zoologists paid, in a literal sense. Local government veterinary fined them for what animals have been moved into the territory of the zoo without authorization. Experts believe: Russia in a paradoxical situation. Every day, dozens of townspeople are lost wild or escaped pets and do not know what to do with them. Rehabilitation centre for rescued animals in the country simply does not. Veterinary clinics care for them only for big money. Citizens decide to play "doctor Aybolita" independently. Often - with the fatal accident for animal exodus.

Every week in Russia to the will of several issued rescued from certain death of wild animals and birds. Even as much escaped from their owners of exotic animals pristraivayutsya in good hands or remain to live from their saviours. A few years ago was a "boom" in exotic reptiles - and still in veterinary clinics and zoos have crocodiles, iguanas and python. In St. Petersburg zoo, for example, two live crocodile kaymana, brought by visitors.

In spring and early summer, according to veterinarians, most abandoned animals. "Often bring crows, galok, rooks, pigeons joint. When the chicks learn to fly, we get thrush, titmice, wagtails, - told "NI" hospital director birds "Green Parrot, Ph.D. Vladimir Romanov. -- Recently, the fox had found in a Moscow park. Once we got zebrovy mangust - escaped from the masters. Animals basically traumatized. Or, in an incident caught, or their hunters podstrelili. Birds struggling on the glass, suffering from oil pollution and general exhaustion ".

This spring was the "yield" on pinnipeds. Only this year in St. Petersburg zoo townspeople brought 13 of seals and seal. "Detenyshi left without mothers because of early spring - nekrepky ice sliver, a helpless young kills, while the mother hunts - Petersburg zoo director said Irina Skiba. -- One catch, even in Lebyazhey grooves but he died as it was very exhausted ".

Zoo staff will cure all the kids, and some of them have already been released at will. But as it turned out, saved from death babies they illegally.

"Veterinary Office us fined 15 thousand rubles, and on a large account, the case is - explained "NI" press secretary of the St. Petersburg zoo Tatiana Salomatina. -- According to the rules we first had to obtain permission from the management of veterinary medicine, it usually takes three days, but the animal at this time to remain where it found. But because we are faced with this first time, several lost. Can we leave the animal to die! And so we first took the animal itself, and then asked permission ".

This situation is typical for the entire country. Zoo categorically forbidden to take animals, which "rent" townspeople. An exception is made only for the rare species listed in the Red Book, and then, if the State Veterinary gives permission. "This is so that the zoo contains many exotic animals, whose health is under the strict control of Veterinary - explained" NI "antiepizootic head of the department of preventive and curative interventions metropolitan veterinary committee Sergei Filatov. -- Another reason - limited basis quarantine Moscow Zoo. Basically it is intended for reception of birds and beasts, which are prepared to go to another country or from another country come to the zoo. Instead, all found within the city animal it is not in a position ".

"Even if some large animals are preparing to transportation, quarantine it passes in its enclosures - seats in the veterinary part simply no", - complained the staff of St. Petersburg zoo. Zoology with envy are examples of European countries, where there are special rehabilitation centres. An animal quarantine and being held there, and specialists survey, and all analyses delivers. A survey of staff after the verdict handed down the center: where to send zveryushku - to the zoo, to a new owner or to release at will. "We do not have such centres," podkidyshami "and" foundling "involved only a few enthusiasts - told" NI "president of the Center for protecting the rights of animals" Vita "Irina Novozhilova. -- A veterinary clinics in all not afford every bird found in the treatment of surrender. The laws of the rescued animals also lacking. Added a "foundling" almost unreal. For example, in early June in St. Petersburg we have found a seagull with a broken wing. As we have with her to wear o! Zoo birds does not accept - afraid of bird flu. Veterinary clinics will not take. As a result, barely-barely recorded her wing and hardly added to the veterinarian friend ".

As promised, experts, the situation should change soon. Planned construction of rehabilitation centers for wild animals and birds, where they will undergo quarantine surveyed, if necessary, treated. However, these centres are not yet built, volunteer veterinarians willing to host the abandoned house or a crocodile, do not give a god, elephant, the day with fire is not found, and zoos fined for mercy.

That's left townspeople discovered animal host. What to do in any case can not be, experts warn. "Just a few days the animal was kept at home with the wrong diet, to lose it - explained" NI "Mr. Filatov. -- And this applies not only to the capriciousness exotic reptiles. For example, few people are aware that waxwing only need to feed berries. Muscovites believe that all birds are equal and give her millet or oats, which could lead to her death ".

If Citizens found, for example, chicks with a broken wing or escaped crocodile, he must immediately turn to vetspetsialistu. You can do this through a veterinary clinic, as well as through hotlines capital's environmental department or committee of veterinary medicine.
