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)

Jacek Zarzecki wrote that the prosecutor's office was considering the return of animals taken from the Łączna Zoo and transported abroad, depending on their health condition. He accused the prosecutor's office in Świdnica of getting caught up in the games and interests of organizations working for animal rights. He also criticized the operation in which — as he described — police cars, arrests, and organizations that presented it as rescuing animals were involved. Zarzecki stated that the animals were taken first and only later did they start thinking about further steps, and he called for a change in the law and a limitation of organizations' impunity. #OchronaZwierząt #Polska #Prawo (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)

Pablo Cambronero published a special edition of "Zoom in, you pay" and stated that Sánchez's government had created "social Tuesdays." According to what he wrote, the previous Tuesday almost 500 million euros had been allocated to international entities that he described as "woke." He added that he would continue to report on the matter. https://t.co/egvz4K6QgI #España #Gobierno #Política (translated)

The author wrote that further messages were leaking from internal groups, in which — as he claimed — an invasion of the Łączna Zoo was organized under the patronage of the prosecutor's office. According to him, the participants realized during the action that it was extremely unprofessional and possibly illegal. #polska #bezpieczeństwo #prawo #PL (translated)

The author wrote that the issue of Łączna Zoo and the fate of the animals moved many people. She pointed out that the manager of the facility on behalf of the owners, Mrs. Zając-Ossowska, was on site, and her actions were observed and supported. She added that joint efforts could even lead to the recovery of a tiger. https://t.co/6um40TCW0g #OchronaZwierząt #ZOO #Wsparcie (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)

The Black List Pro wrote that the dog was found at the "I Have an Idea" Foundation, which manages the shelter in Świdnica. The author claimed that the animal was neither exotic nor endangered or neglected, and that its owner was the mother of the zoo owner. He asked how and why the dog ended up at the foundation and whose decision it was, addressing this matter to the prosecutor's office. #Świdnica #FundacjaMamPomysł #SprawaPieska (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)

Marcin Torz wrote that Marta Zając-Ossowska won an international competition for the director of the Wrocław Zoo a few years earlier. According to him, she was later supposed to become the president, but her candidacy in the competition for that position was rejected for undefined “formal reasons.” Torz stated that this happened because of her independence and municipal connections. He assessed her as competent and expressed hope that she might someday return to work at the zoo in Wrocław. #Wrocław #ZOO #konkurs (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)

Jan Molski wondered what those who defended the intervention at the Łączna Zoo thought about the matter. He called it a disgrace for the services, animal rights groups, and the government collaborating with them. He added that Ms. Marta "totally crushed" it. https://t.co/kFbdz30MDG #ZOO #interwencja #kompromitacja (translated)

Isa Yusibov wrote that October 17, 2003, was a day of conflicting feelings for him: he wished it had never happened, but he was also proud of it. He was 14 years old at the time and said his family had considered him an adult since then. The day after the presidential elections in Azerbaijan, in which his father played an important role according to him, Yusibov claimed to be one of the first victims of the repression against the pro-Western opposition. He wrote that he was beaten, humiliated, and spat on in front of about 300 to 400 students. Afterwards, he received his school file and was informed that he was no longer welcome because his father was considered a state enemy. Yusibov said that on his way to the exit, he made eye contact with teachers who had treated him kindly before the elections. Several teachers reportedly gestured for him to leave quickly. He wrote that the experience made him proud of his father and convinced him that the dictatorship would continue. A month later, his family reportedly fled to the Netherlands. The event compelled him to focus on geopolitics. Yusibov argued that the power transition surrounding Aliyev was a consensus among the West, Putin, Erdogan, and Iran. According to him, the West, led by Bush, had betrayed the democrats in Azerbaijan in favor of authoritarian stability. He also wrote that great power interests dictated politics in the Caucasus and that this situation had not changed 23 years later. Yusibov stated that his experiences had taught him how difficult it was to stand up for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. He wrote that he had seen the first signs of undermining democratic principles in the Netherlands as well, by parties that he believed targeted democracy. He referred to a previous interview with NRC and said he would not allow the Netherlands to become a country where the government disregarded fundamental rights. #Democratie #Mensenrechten #Geopolitiek (translated)

The Moose Tamer wrote that from the very first moment he considered Marta to be the right person to sort out the situation at the zoo. He added that he was impressed by her findings regarding the individuals he described as amateurs who were going to come to steal more valuable items. He encouraged listening to the whole thing. #zoo #taniec #praca (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)
