Juarez City.- The group of animalists Somos Su Voz, made up of six people, demonstrated in the West Central Park to demand improvements from the State Government for the habitat of the new giraffe, as well as to “raise” signatures from the citizens.
“We demand that the State Government make the commitment to make improvements in this place so that he can relax, here there must be a multidisciplinary team, from a veterinarian specializing in large species, that the place has space where this giraffe can be come check it out,” said animal rights activist Ana Félix.
Before said demonstration, Rogelio Muñoz, administrator of the Central Park, explained that they are working on the rehabilitation of the habitat of the new tenant, who arrived from Culiacán, Sinaloa. A six-meter shade, reforestation of trees, an area to be checked by the veterinarian, as well as drinking troughs for the giraffe to drink water, are part of the work that will be carried out in the habitat, which will be ready in four months. Munoz assured.
“Opinions are respectable and, above all, the habitat is going to improve; We are rehabilitating the habitat, we are going to put flowers, trees, install the shades, the trap so that it can be adequate, the Modesto house is going to be rehabilitated for the cold, it is what we are adapting, ”he said.
He explained that the donation was made because the giraffe was not able to live with other specimens, and it was in an area of 400 square meters and now in the Central Park it has a habitat of three thousand square meters.
“If Modesto hadn’t taken care of himself, he wouldn’t have lasted many years,” added Muñoz.
Ana Félix explained that on May 19 the group of animalists will have a meeting with Carla Rivas, Secretary of Human Development and Common Good of the State Government, to whom they will show the signatures that were obtained from the citizens, as well as their petitions in favor of of the giraffe
“We don’t want this new resident to live 21 years like Modesto lived, they really have to consider that it is an animal that they adapt to what you offer them, but I wonder, does it really deserve what they are offering?” he expressed.
He pointed out that the purpose of the demonstration is for the giraffe to have a better treatment than Modesto had, and to avoid giving it junk food that affects its health.
