The District Prosecutor's Office in Świdnica is considering bringing animals from the zoo in Łączna back to Poland, if their welfare and the capabilities of local facilities allow it, after an operation was carried out to detain individuals accused of abusing them. #zoo #zwierzęta #prokuratura (translated)

Marta Zając-Ossowska explained that she was not the procedural attorney for Marcin Nowaczyk nor did she take over the management of ZOO Łączna as an institution. She stated that at the request of the Lower Silesian Voivode Anna Żabska and the mayor of Mieroszów Andrzej Lipiński, and with the consent and at the request of the owner and employees, she took care of ensuring the care of the animals and organizing the current work of the staff. She emphasized that her actions did not include managing the garden, responsibility for its previous functioning, or decisions about its future. She added that she did not know how long she would remain involved, as it depended on the development of the situation and the decisions of the appropriate authorities and the owner. She also pointed to the need for resolutions and actions from the administration and the bodies conducting the proceedings. She stated that she was no longer an employee of the Wrocław Zoo. She indicated that in April 2024, she submitted a declaration of immediate termination of her employment and resigned from the position of general director. #ZOO #Oświadczenie #Wrocław (translated)

Ziemowit Przebitkowski wrote that the woman considered the animals to be starved because they were eating greedily during feeding. He noted that it was about wild animals and ironically asked whether they were supposed to use a knife and fork. He also claimed that people like this woman, acting together with people from the foundation, whom he referred to in a derogatory way, could under any pretext enter someone’s home and take animals for the purposes of the next collection. #zwierzęta #ochronazwierząt #dzikosci (translated)

Konrad Krasuski published a summary of his materials regarding DIOZ and encouraged sharing them with people who have just learned about the organization's activities. He wrote that his publications addressed issues including finances and fundraising, allegations of harassment and manipulation, testimonies from affected individuals, experts, and former employees, as well as leaks of recordings from the president of DIOZ, controversial veterinary procedures, and the export of animals abroad. Among the mentioned materials, he also pointed out his response to DIOZ's explanations, his confrontation with the organization's president during a protest, the issue of money from poultry farms and techno parties at the animal center, for which — as he wrote — DIOZ was fundraising. He also mentioned a case related to ZOO Łączna. #DIOZ #afera #zwierzęta (translated)

The Moose Enchanter wrote that Zając Ossowska is still active but cannot return Kulka to her owner. He referred to a post by ZOO Łączna on Facebook, according to which Kulka, the private dog of Mrs. Gosia, mother of Marcin, was taken to an animal shelter in Świdnica during prosecutorial actions. The author of the ZOO Łączna post stated that after obtaining information about the dog's whereabouts, they went to pick it up and thanked the shelter staff for their care. He added that Kulka is already with them, but by the prosecutor's decision cannot return to Mrs. Gosia, and a family member will take care of her. #Psy #Zwierzęta #Schronisko (translated)

WolnośćTV referenced statements by Krzysztof Bosak, who said that the previous day there was an attack on a Polish diplomatic convoy in Palestine and the breaking of windows in vehicles belonging to the Polish state. He attributed responsibility to Israeli terrorists. Bosak also accused the authorities in Warsaw of persecuting entrepreneurs and imposing fines amounting to tens or hundreds of thousands for what he claimed were fabricated offenses. He also spoke about the actions of the prosecutor's office, police, and private organizations that were allegedly smuggling animals abroad. He questioned the focus of the conversation on what someone was supposed to have heard in the forest. He stated that a discussion could occur if someone had seen and recorded something. #Polska #konwójdyplomatyczny #prokuratura (translated)

Chrzanik wrote that Bosak, referring to the possibility of a drone entering Poland, criticized the stirring of alarm based on someone’s claim that they heard something in the forest. Bosak also pointed to the persecution of entrepreneurs by the authorities in Warsaw, as well as the actions of the police and organizations that, he claimed, were transporting animals abroad. He appealed to let people work instead of creating Sunday sensationalism. Chrzanik assessed that Bosak got upset, but he was right because it was unclear if anything had entered Poland, and there were many important matters to address. #Polska #Bezpieczeństwo #Władze (translated)

Jacek Zarzecki wrote that the Provincial Veterinary Inspectorate issued health certificates for 21 animals taken from the Łączna Zoo to the Netherlands, including a tiger. According to him, the certificates were not issued by the county veterinarian supervising the zoo, who publicly stated that he saw no grounds for taking the animals, and was subsequently removed from the proceedings. Zarzecki pointed out that the police were supposed to designate a final destination for the animals, namely a private zoo. He asked on what legal basis the inspectorate took over the duties of the county veterinarian and from which account the certificates were issued. He also expressed doubts about whether each animal was examined before loading and whether its medical documentation, which — he wrote — was taken over by the prosecutor, was checked, and whether the tiger had a valid rabies vaccination. Zarzecki emphasized that the health certificate is an official document on which the credibility of Polish exports of animals and meat is based. He stated that any possible bending of procedures in this matter could undermine trust in the documents and procedures, and if EU institutions got involved, Poland would have to explain itself. #Zwierzęta #Weterynaria #Prawo (translated)

Uszi wrote that the animals were taken from the Łączna Zoo, and the results of the prosecutor's examination were supposed to be known before the services entered the area. He cited disclosed chats of the activists, from which — he claimed — it followed that they had divided the animals among themselves a few days before the operation. According to Uszi, both activists and the Dutch pointed to the key role of the Ministry of Climate and Environment, and Minister Paulina Hennig-Kloska accused others of lying in their statements. The author also wrote that the taken tiger would not return to Poland. He claimed that Stichting Leeuw sends the seized predators to a private reserve in Africa, where luxurious safaris can be booked through Booking.com. #Zoo #Wydarzenia #OchronaZwierząt (translated)

The author of the entry described the situation at the Łączna Zoo as a scandal and accused the new management of incompetence. He claimed that some animals had died, some could not be found, and that the animals were being given improper food and were not receiving medication. He also wrote that one bird had lost its feathers due to stress, and the most expensive bird had probably been stolen. https://t.co/5SWWhAbRet #Zoo #Skandal #Zwierzęta (translated)

The author wrote that the animals, which were supposed to be starved in a Polish zoo and on the brink of death, arrived in the Netherlands in good health. Ironically, he congratulated the drivers, calling the transport "healing." https://t.co/lIJBUwhbd6 #zwierzęta #transport #opieka #PL #NL (translated)

Jacek Zarzecki claimed that the tiger and other animals from the Łączna Zoo were sent to the Netherlands and organizations, rather than to the government's Central Animal Shelter, because the facility exists only on paper and in the budget. According to him, its headquarters is located in ruined, abandoned buildings of the former radio center "Leszczynka," which are not suitable for holding animals. Zarzecki wrote that the agreement for the shelter project was signed six months earlier, and construction was supposed to start in 2028 and last until 2031. The initial cost of the investment was to be 32 million zł, and then increase to 64 million zł. According to his entry, in 2025, the shelter took in four animals and transferred all of them elsewhere. The operational costs for that year were said to be 3.38 million zł, including about 1.45 million zł for salaries and contributions. The author stated that the shelter was established on January 1, 2024, and was overseen by former deputy minister Mikołaj Dorożal. He added that the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, along with the Ministry of Climate, allocated over 11 million zł to organizations that he described as friendly, for fighting disinformation. He called the shelter the most expensive in Poland, where no animals reside. #azyl #tygrys #zwierzęta (translated)

Krzychu, addressing Patryk Słowik, wrote that the prosecutor's office arrested the owner, charged him, and restricted his freedom based on four photos that — as he pointed out — had no description or date of execution. He also claimed that activist individuals, who for three days had been starving animals in the presence of veterinarians, police, and the prosecutor's office, remained at large. #prawaosób #sprawiedliwość #zoo (translated)

Adam Czarnecki criticized the state of the country under Donald Tusk's government. He claimed that unidentified individuals entered the zoo and stole animals, and that the police and prosecutors did not respond. He wrote that some people were involved in a dispute outside the Constitutional Tribunal, while others were dealing with the Epstein case on the orders of Waldemar Żurek. #Polska #bezpieczeństwo #polityka (translated)

An agreement has been reached regarding the care of the animals in the private zoo in Łączna, which will be handed over to the representative of the suspect after the conclusion of the prosecutorial activities, even though the accused will not be able to take care of them. #zwierzeta #zoo #sad (translated)
