A horse died at a private mini-zoo in Kyiv region, and more than 40 animals were left without food. Reports BBC, citing the police press service.
The National Police said: “The private mini-zoo was needed by its owner when it brought in money during the warm season. But in winter, when the animals need to be fed and cared for more carefully, this hapless entrepreneur, to put it mildly, abandoned the animals to starve to death.”

Left without food were 20 sheep, 14 cows, 5 horses, 2 ponies, as well as a calf and a goat.

The mini-zoo belongs to Anatoliy Voitsekhovskyi and is located in one of his abandoned complexes. The entrepreneur faces criminal liability for cruelty to animals, and the animals from the zoo are planned to be taken away. Volunteers drew attention to the incident by bringing food to the animals and reporting it to the police.
