Van Vihar Starts Temporary Slaughter Facility
Van Vihar in Bhopal has started a temporary slaughter facility to feed its carnivorous animals.
This happened because the regular slaughter house run by the city government was closed.
The park has tigers, leopards, and a hyena that need meat every day.
The park got special permission to do this until the regular slaughter house opens again.
They are using buffaloes for the meat.
Van Vihar in Bhopal started a temporary slaughter facility after the BMC’s slaughter house closed.
The facility was permitted by the district administration to ensure meat supply for carnivorous animals.
Buffaloes are being slaughtered to feed 13 tigers, 18 leopards, and 1 hyena in the park.
The temporary facility will operate until the BMC slaughter house resumes functioning.
Previously, temporary slaughter permission was only granted on national holidays.
