Grzegorz Macko reported that in Mieroszów he participated in a crisis management team regarding the situation at the zoo in Łączna, and then met with protesters outside the garden. During the meeting, as he relayed, he learned from the police chief in Wałbrzych that the Ministry of Climate and Environment, led by Paulina Henning-Kloska, had been involved in discussions about transporting animals from Poland to the Netherlands for some time. Macko wrote that the zoo fence was damaged and more foundations were withdrawing from activities on its premises and taking over the animals. He accused the voivode, Anna Żabska from the Civic Coalition, of convening the crisis team but not attending it herself. According to him, there was chaos on the spot, no one responsible for coordination, and institutions did not indicate who would take care of the animals after the organizations withdrew. He added that the police officers moved among the animals and provided them with water. He conveyed that a representative of the prosecutor's office said during the crisis team that activities were completed the previous day. Macko added that in the afternoon the court did not grant the prosecutor's request to arrest the owner of the zoo. The politician emphasized that in his opinion, politicians and residents should not decide who is right in the dispute or assess whether irregularities occurred. However, he considered it the politicians' duty to evaluate the actions of state services. He described the situation at the zoo as an example of serious communication, organizational, and perhaps legal problems. He also wrote that the case showed, as he assessed, a broader dysfunction of the state, also in terms of animal welfare. #ZOO #OchronaZwierząt #Kryzys (translated)
