HO CHI MINH CITY - As visitor numbers slump during the pandemic, Vietnam’s oldest zoo has scrambled to survive, such as holding fundraising drives, cutting pay and growing fruit and vegetables to feed the animals.
Still, the zoo, built in the French colonial era, has to meet running costs of 180 million dong a day and ensure more than 1,400 animals are fed. “We still ensure food supplies for the animals, but we try to provide them with seasonal food which is cost-effective,” said Pham, noting the zoo was growing nearly half of its food supplies on the city’s outskirts.
Ohooo! Washing hippos! One bite, n you are goooone
Hope all zoo get closed and out of business for ever
Maybe not have a zoo then you wouldn’t be reliant on visitors. Time to make new history. The year that humanity prevailed?
Zoos are an outdated way to experience nature.
😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
The advice that we should save for the rainy day is very popular, but the Covid-19 pandemic showed that most countries, companies, establishments, and people were never serious with the habit of saving. I just hope that we all learn from the bitter lessons of our recklessness
Ok
MikeBloomberg they need help
AUTISM SPEAKS IS A HATE GROUP
Maybe, just maybe, wild animals aren't supposed to be caged for our amusement...🤔⁉️
a_fly_guy Jeff Bezos earns that amount about every second of the day. Perhaps he wants to help out a few animals with all the tax money he's saved with his 200B fortune.
Exactly How...the tigers won't eat banana or drink coffee..!
It's a rare story to see vietnameses have their true love for the animals. Normally the gov looks the other way to let its people eat wild animals to extinction. Elephants are gone so be the ivory, tigers are gone to the last bone, sea turtles are vanished except few res.places.
It needs to be updated to a cageless zoo.
