Subject.........
1. Very poor condition of animals at India's oldest zoo - VJB Udyan - Mumbai
2. Strong protest against proposal to bring penguins to VJB Udyan - Mumbai
3. Strong protest against proposed New Zoo at Aarey Colony - Mumbai
4. Demand for Rehabilitation Center in Mumbai instead of New Zoo

 

Dear Sir,

 

I am writing this letter as a citizen to lodge my strong protect against very poor condition of animals and it’s upkeep at Veermata Jijabai Bhosle Udyan (VJB Udyan) – Mumbai Zoo run by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, which is said to be the oldest zoo in India. Every year we citizens we witness decline in the no. of animals in the zoo due to improper care, improper habitat, under-nourishment and bad healthcare.

 

To add insult to injury, VJB Udyan management has planned to bring 6 Penguins and construct a new zoo at Aarey Colony in Goregaon in Mumbai. So I as an animal lover and a concerned citizen I wish to lodge a strong protest and objection against both the proposals. And urge you to make surprise visits at the VJB zoo along with some members of animal welfare organisations, without informing the VJB Udyan management.

 

I strongly believe there is no need of any new zoo instead of this, a rehabilitation center can be developed, as Mumbai is been developed day-by-day and animals, reptiles and other living creature need to be rehabilitee, at present there is only one nearest rehabilitation center that is also too far in Pune, which too is not an easy process.

 

I would appreciate if you could acknowledge the receipt of this letter and inform me of the action taken on my suggestions.

 

Thanking you,

 

Yours Faithfully,
