Donkey in danger: plastic bag causes horror in the Essehof zoo!

Essehof, Deutschland - A shocking incident caused horror in the Essehof zoo (HELMSTEDT district)!

But the dark truth behind this picture makes the hearts of animal lovers beat faster - and not for joy!

The plastic bag that was excreted by a donkey causes excitement among the zoo visitors. How could it get that far? "Unfortunately, it always happens that the animals come to bags and eat them in the craze," explains the zoo team. Understandably, the employees are anything but pleased about this unfortunate situation. In order to avoid such incidents, the zoo relies on paper feed bags that can be easily digested in the event of a recording.

an urgent appeal to the visitors

How the plastic bag got into the donkey enclosure remains unclear. Was it the wind or a careless visitor who made a mistake when feeding the animals? The zoo order allows feeding of chopped carrots, but not in plastic bags! The zoo is opposed to the public with an urgent appeal: "By feeding false food or foreign bodies, animals die painfully! In such cases, the best personally contacted personnel are contacted." Unfortunately, there have been tragic incidents in the past due to carelessness.

The reactions on social media are overwhelming. "Something like that makes me really angry," comments a user and criticizes the disregard of the rules. Another zoo fan breathes relieved: "It could have been very, very different. A real lucky science that it is so" slipped through 'so easily. " The incident once again shows the responsibility that every visitor has in dealing with the animals. The anger and concern of animal lovers are understandable - the safety of the animals must come first!
