2 Dead Monkeytails And Find Unkempt Crocodiles Well, Bima Arya Asks For A Bogor Folest Zoo Hotel To Be Temporarily Closed
Bogor Mayor Bima Arya Sugiarto asked the operation of the Mini Zoo zoo in Bogor Folrest Hotel, South Bogor District to be temporarily closed because it did not have a permit. It was also revealed that two wild monkeys died with unclear causes.In addition, other protected animals such as crocodiles and crossings are also in it without good care and do not ask for permission from the West Java Natural Resources Conservation Center (BBKSDA)."So we ask to be temporarily closed, because there is no permit regarding the two monkeys that died and will be investigated more deeply by the BKSDA," Bima Arya said in Bogor, West Java, Antara, Friday, December 16.Bima Arya together with the Head of the West Java BKSDA Evacuation and identification Team Dani Ramdhani visited the Mini Zoo at the Bogor Folrest Hotel to review the feasibility of the entire mini zoo area.There, Bima Arya looked around the alleged wild monkeys in the Mini Zoo area which should have been protected, but had not yet been licensed. In addition, there are also rivals who are placed in inadequate places, as well as crocodiles with the same conditions.Regarding this situation, Bima Arya asked hotel and Mini Zoo managers to coordinate with BKSDA to improve the feasibility of animal care, cages and permits.Bima revealed that there needs to be increased supervision from the Bogor City Government in the future regarding the management of the Bogor Forest Hotel.The Bogor City Government only has data on the hotel's licensing that has been operating since 2018 without a mini zoo. The location of the zoo is next to the bottom of the hotel parking area with a dive. This condition, Bima said, made it escape the supervision of the City Government."There are managers here, we ask to immediately coordinate and improve everything. We will also increase supervision," he said.Previously, a video with an initial description of 2mdua of baby monkeys in a cage at Bogor Mini Zoo went viral on social media after being uploaded and re-uploaded by various accounts on Thursday (15/12).Receiving this information, Bogor Mayor Bima Arya Sugiarto immediately went to the location and confirmed it to the management.From the management's explanation, the incident occurred on December 9, 2022. Every day the manager admits to conducting an examination. And on the 10th morning the manager found two monkeys dead.The manager also explained that the monkey was not a baby monkey but an adult monkey.However, currently the Bogor City Government has asked BKSA to check and confirm the conditions that occurred until the monkey died."We are waiting for the BKSDA to check everything first. In the meantime, we are closing (Mini Zoo)," he said.
