Safety Concerns Raised
A zoo in Scotland is under investigation following reports of unexplained animal deaths and alleged E.-coli infections among visiting children. Parents say their children fell ill after petting zoo visits, sparking public outcry.
Animal Welfare Issues
Animal-rights groups accuse the zoo of poor living conditions and lack of proper veterinary care. Authorities are now reviewing CCTV footage, veterinary records, and staff protocols to determine accountability.
Community Reactions
Local families have expressed shock, with some calling for the facility’s closure until safety standards are verified. The zoo management insists it meets all legal requirements and is cooperating with the investigation.
Wider Implications
The case highlights tensions between animal welfare, public safety, and tourism. Regulators say the findings could set a precedent for stricter oversight of smaller, privately owned zoos across the UK.
