To help Kyiv Zoo sustain its animals through the winter and frequent power outages caused by the war with Russia, zoos in Germany and Austria have donated 18 tonnes of specialized dried animal food. The zoo, which faces significant challenges due to the conflict, has relied heavily on this specific type of food, which has become scarce in Ukraine as many local producers have been either destroyed or are located in conflict zones.
Kyiv Zoo director Kyrylo Trantin explained that Ukrainian enterprises that used to produce this specialized dry food are no longer operational, making it impossible to source locally. With power outages and air raid alerts becoming a regular occurrence, the zoo uses firewood stoves to prepare meals for the animals. Trantin emphasized that the zoo first feeds monkeys and birds, followed by hoofed animals and carnivores, who are given dry grass and meat in the absence of the specialized food.
The generous donation from German and Austrian zoos ensures that Kyiv Zoo can continue to care for its animals through these difficult times.
