Reaction to lion killing is down: Animal Friends appealed
Friends of animals have submitted an official request to the City of Zagreb demanding an end to the breeding, purchasing, buying, selling, donating, and exchanging of animals between zoos. They argue that while the city cannot bring back the lion Tari, it can decide to stop creating and acquiring new animals whose entire lives would be spent in captivity. The group is concerned by reports that the zoo plans to bring in a new lion for breeding purposes. They also requested a gradual transformation of the zoo into an educational, tourist, and interactive center based on virtual displays, interactive content, and live transmissions from national parks, with a possible area designated for rehabilitation of injured wild animals. The political platform 'Blue City' expressed particular concern over information indicating that the Ugandan lion had previously shown aggressive behavior toward Tari and that there are photos of her injuries dating back to July 10th. They called on the State Prosecutor’s Office to urgently investigate the circumstances of the case and determine any potential liability. They also demanded that the chairman of the Zoo Board, Damir Bakić, and director Damir Cigelj

The animal rights organization 'Prijatelji životinja' has requested the City of Zagreb to stop breeding and acquiring new animals at the Zoo after the death of lioness Tayri. They argue that the zoo's planned introduction of a new lion for breeding is concerning, especially given past incidents of aggression by another lion, Uganda. The political platform 'Plavi grad' has called for urgent investigation by the State Prosecutor's Office and accountability from the zoo's management, urging transparency and the release of veterinary documentation. The group also proposes transforming the zoo into an educational and interactive center that does not rely on keeping animals in captivity.

After the death of lioness Tayri at Zagreb's Zoo, the animal rights organization 'Prijatelji životinja' has formally requested the city to stop breeding animals, purchasing new ones, and engaging in their trade, donation, or exchange with other zoos. The tragic incident involved a male Ugandan lion attacking Tayri, who was part of a breeding pair. The group argues this event should prompt a thorough review of the zoo’s policies, emphasizing that the death cannot be dismissed as an isolated incident but rather a call for ethical reform. They condemn the zoo's plans to introduce a new lion for forced breeding and demand immediate cessation of acquiring new animals. The organization proposes transforming the zoo into a modern educational, tourist, and interactive center using technology like virtual reality and live broadcasts from nature reserves, while eliminating the need for keeping animals in captivity. They advocate for education on biodiversity and conservation without cages, urging the city to treat Tayri's death as a clear warning for change.
