      NOTE: Following action (ELEPHANT DJANOM)started in the year 2005. but it's still ongoing- as Djanom might come thru some ilegal channels..!

        “Looking for Needle in haystack” Following the article from news papers ( Article about the transfer. )

       

      This planed action for notorious Belgrade ZOO is lead by two Serbian sportiest and one Maharaja..

       Action for witch all relevant Indian authorities never heard off… As Tanja Petovic stated she personally talked to the ZOO director in Punjab,and she added that Zoo director offered to give monkeys with Elephant Djanom.

       

      Yes, This all sounds perfecto, but the catch is that Indian authorities are stunned by this information and they stated that this kind of transport could not be possible, because No Zoo shall acquire or transfer any wild animal protected under Schedule I or II of the WPA without prior permission of the CZA.

       Our Indian sources reveal that Zoo in Punjab also confirmed that such transfer was never planed.

      A huge number of highly credible people in India have denied that any elephant is going to the Belgrade Zoo from any legitimate source.

       

      So, could we all challenge the Belgrade Zoo to reveal where the elephant is coming from, since if he is not coming from a CZA-accredited Zoo as part of an approved international exchange, he may well be coming from the black market.

       

      ***

      The news is wrong. There is no such move ever. I am saying this as member Central Zoo Authority. Please stop circulating wrong news.

      How Elephant “Djanom” became a GIFT:

      * a REPLY* "Vlade Divac- About Transfer" 

      “The Central Zoo Authority is in no knowledge of gifting of any elephant from Punjab to Belgrade Zoo.

      Government of India has already banned gifting of wild animals by State Heads. International movement of wild animals can not be done without permission from CITES Authority and Central Zoo Authority (if it is related to any zoological park)” a reply From: CZA (Central Zoo Authority -India)

      ***Following is a part from corespondecne with Merritt Clifton/Editor of Animal People:

       

      “Compared to the Belgrade Zoo, the Zoo in Armenia was an excellent environment for an elephant. However, the Belgrade Zoo in present configuration wouldn't even be suitable rat habitat.

       It could be extensively revamped to adequately accommodate a small selection of climate-appropriate species, but elephants would never be among them…”

      Palic- zoo-lokation  Eles- Marta,Palic- 6 photos This is Elephant Marta- she is 32 years old, born on 1974. arrived in Serbia- 1980 

      BELGRADE ZOO,

      PAST CASES INVOLVING ELEPHANTS: 

      Luka/Tasa: Male. Asian. Captive born on 13th April 1973 at Belgrade Zoo, Serbia (Mita x Tisa)

        Luka was born at Belgrade Zoo, Serbia in 1973 and transferred to Longleat Safari Park on 1st January 1985. He was later loaned to Woburn Safari Park on 10th October 1986. He was transferred again to Belfast Zoo, on loan, on 8th October 1991.

       

       Port Lympne Wild Animal Park says he originally came from "cramped" conditions in Belgrade Zoo, Serbia, and he developed signs of stereotypic behaviour at a young age. Apparently, this has decreased with increased stimulation and they hope his condition will continue to improve. He shows signs of stereotypic head bobbing. Reportedly, he has been known to throw rocks at zoo visitors at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park and apparently killed two keepers at Belgrade Zoo in the early 1980's. Luka can be identified by his large tusks.
