The Mayor of Bulgaria's second largest city of Plovdiv Slavcho Atanasov announced Friday he was going to insist that the City Council allocated BGN 300 000 for the emergency modernization of the Plovdiv Zoo.
The Mayor said he had recently visited the zoo, and had been terrified by the awful conditions there.
He vowed to start a large-scale reconstruction of the facility as soon as the requested funds were provided.
Atanasov promised that new, better, and larger cages would be built, including some with floor heating for certain types of animals.
The Manager of the Plovdiv Zoo Latinka Kumcheva said that the only lion in the zoo had died over the winter, and that the staff was not even trying to get another one because of the extremely miserable and inappropriate conditions in the facility.
