Animals Used for Entertainment// India's Zoos: A Grim ReportRajiv Gandhi Zoological Park
Pune, Maharashtra
July 2005
- The food given to the animals, such as the porcupines, is exposed to rain and sun.
- The bears' retiring cubicle is too small and does not provide privacy.
- The leopard is kept alone and displays stereotypical, neurotic behaviours. There are no platforms for him to perch on.
- The peacocks' enclosure is bare and cluttered with debris.
- The stream which runs through the zoo is filled with trash.
- One group of tigers is kept in small cages placed behind the white tigers' enclosure. The tigers seem agitated by each others' presence.
- There is inadequate mental and physical enrichment.

Squirrels eat the food in the porcupine enclosure.

This leopard paces around constantly and is kept alone.

A small body of water runs through the park.
