Storm around the Łaczna zoo. The Ministry of the Environment denies the rumors

The ministry responded to the rumors

The Ministry of Climate and Environment firmly denies false information appearing in the media that the Ministry was to participate in the preparation, consultation or planning of law enforcement activities at the zoo in Głosna - we read in the press release published today.

As explained, the ministry received a police application to issue a certificate for the movement of animals under the CITES procedure in connection with the ongoing investigation.

The application did not cover other activities of law enforcement authorities. After obtaining an opinion on the conditions in the target place, a positive decision was issued regarding one individual, a Bengal tiger - said the ministry led by Paulina Hennig-Kloska.

We also learn from the ministry's announcement that at the beginning of August, the General Directorate for Environmental Protection initiated proceedings to withdraw the decision authorizing the establishment and operation of the Łączna zoo. The final decision on this matter has not been made yet.

The current actions of the District Prosecutor's Office in Wałbrzych do not result from the proceedings conducted by GDOŚ and were not commissioned by GDOŚ - it was reported.

An intervention at the zoo that arouses emotions

On Thursday evening, the District Court in Wałbrzych decided not to accept the prosecutor's request for arrest against the owner of the private Zoo Głosna in Mieroszów. He and four other people are facing prosecutors' charges related to animal cruelty.

The court imposed police supervision and property bail on the owner of the zoo.

Investigators did not want temporary arrests for the four remaining detainees. Libertarian preventive measures were applied to them.

Investigators, assisted by the police, entered the Łączna Zoo in Mieroszów on Tuesday. The animals were to be taken to other care facilities. The prosecutor's office's actions were related to the complaint submitted by activists of pro-animal organizations.
