Zoological park set up in the former presidential residence of Blaise Compaoré, who was passionate about wildlife.

The Ziniaré Zoological Park surrounds the former presidential residence of Blaise Compaoré, who was passionate about wildlife. The entrance to the park is also the former presidential entrance, so its access is strictly controlled. The visit of the Ziniaré zoo is subject to a prior request of about a week from the town hall: the time required to carry out the necessary checks. Since the fall of the former president, the management of the park has been unclear. The park is more or less abandoned, at the opposite of modern zoos. The small enclosures, most of them empty, surrounded by barbed wire, contain relatively thin, lonely animals that seem sadly aware of their fate.

I went there a few years ago when Blaise Compaore was quietly in power. The site was already managed by the town hall. The animals were already lean. The zoo was already desert. It is not an attraction for Africa because animals are on their land. At worst, it would have been better to make a private reservation to support the needs of animals. This zoo is a mouroir. Go instead to Bazoulé where crocodiles are treated in their natural environment.

Zoo laissé à l'abandon, aussi bien les enclos que les animaux. Ils sont abattus, amaigris, blessés... La visite est plus révoltante qu'intéressante. On se sent impuissant face à une telle détresse. Je déconseille à quiconque de payer une entrée pour cautionner une misère pareille. Une association de protection animale devrait se pencher sur ce parc pour tenter de sauver ces bêtes de leur vie misérable.

Les 3/4 des animaux du zoo sont morts, à cause du manque de soin et de nourriture. Le zoo est à l'état d'abandon. Un jeune homme nous guide à moto entre des enclos vides, pour trouver les animaux qui sont encore en vie.

Lorsque l'ancien Président a été destitué, la mairie a récupéré le zoo mais n'a jamais eu les moyens de s'en occuper. Plus personne ne veut de ce zoo.
Ce sont maintenant de jeunes locaux qui demandent de l'argent aux touristes, qui "s'en occupent" ...

Il reste donc aujourd'hui :
- 1 singe seul dans une cage au milieu de 4 autres cages ;
- 2 éléphants rachitiques ;
- 2 lionnes, dont une avec la queue en sang, coupée.
- 1 tigre squelettique dans un minuscule enclos


Je ne sais pas vers qui me tourner aujourd'hui, mais je ne peux pas rester sans rien faire ...
Dois-je faire une pétition ? Mais contre qui ?
Quelles associations ont le pouvoir de faire changer les choses ?

Il faut absolument déplacer ces animaux, où alors ils vont mourir comme tous les autres, dans d'atroces souffrances !

Joindre des photos interdirait la publication de ce commentaire donc je m'en abstient.
