Iepure viu dat ca hrană unui piton la Zoo Sibiu, sub privirile vizitatorilor: oamenii s-au scandalizat

A live rabbit was fed to a python at the Sibiu Zoo during a public event, sparking strong reactions from visitors and animal protection organizations. Witnesses expressed concern about the appropriateness of such displays, especially for children. Zoo officials acknowledged the incident as a mistake, explaining that feeding live prey is typically not visible to the public. The python, over 10 years old and weighing more than 40 kg, refuses to eat dead animals, necessitating live feeding. Animal rights groups have reported the incident to the police and plan a protest in Bucharest, advocating for the use of pre-killed food for captive reptiles. Discussions on animal feeding practices continue at both local and national levels.
