The Central Zoo Authority, New Delhi, had approved the exchange between the Arignar Anna Zoological Park, Vandalur and Dr. K. Shivarma Karanth Pilicula Biological Park in Mangaluru, Karnataka. Accordingly, both the zoos have carried out the exchange programme between May 1 and 5, according to a release from the zoo director here.
Arignar Anna Zoological Park has sent a female white tiger and a female ostrich along with a team, comprising a veterinarian, a biologist and a uniform staff and received two pairs of wild dogs, one male Bengal tiger, two pairs of checkered keelback snakes and a pair of Whitakers boa.
Both the zoos received the approved animals safely, and the animals were housed in a quarantine unit. After the completion of quarantine and health certification by the veterinarians, the animals will be shifted to their enclosures and exhibited for visitors, the release said.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
