Employees of the Kharkiv Zoo will transfer part of their salaries to Georgia

Employees of the Kharkov Zoo intend to help the families of the dead Tbilisi colleagues.

“First of all, you need to help people. Of the 15 killed in Tbilisi, three employees of the zoo, who died saving animals. Our employees are going to transfer part of their salary to the families of their deceased colleagues, ”said Alexei Grigoriev, director of the Kharkiv Zoo.

According to him, it is too early to talk about restoring the collection of the Tbilisi Zoo.

“Now it’s impossible to talk about the restoration of the collection, because the premises have been destroyed. Animals can not be collected in a lot on the square! Now any animal that will be brought there will die in a hundred cases out of a hundred. First you need to restore the premises, it will take 1-2 of the year, for this you need millions of dollars. And only when this is done, is it possible to talk about the restoration of the collection. Then, naturally, we will help. We will send animals there. We have already talked with the curator of the zoological collection of the Tbilisi Zoo, ”said Grigoriev.

It is known that as a result flooding in Tbilisi 15 people died, the infrastructure of the city and the zoo suffered greatly.
