South Korea's first lady visits a ”zoo”... ”Dedicated to respecting animals”

On the 5th, South Korean First Lady Kim Kun-hee visited the Cheongju Zoo in Chungcheongbuk-do (North Chungcheong Province) and said, ``We will do our best to raise awareness of respect for animals.''
I bundled it. Cheongju Zoo, which Mrs. Kim visited, was designated as an ex-situ conservation institution by the Ministry of Environment in 2014. Here, rescued wild animals are treated and then trained to become self-sufficient through rehabilitation training.
We protect animals that are difficult to reintroduce into the wild, such as those with permanent disabilities. Mrs. Kim listened to the current status of activities at Cheongju Zoo and expressed her gratitude for the dedication and efforts of veterinarians, animal welfare workers, and other staff.
"It's important to improve awareness to respect animals," he said. He continued, ``I hope that Cheongju Zoo's exemplary model will spread even more widely,'' and ``I will also help.''
Mrs. Kim also mentioned the revised ``Zoo and Aquarium Management Law'' (Zoo and Aquarium Law) that will begin on December 14th this year. This law applies to zoos
and aquariums should shift from the previous registration system to a permit system, and prohibit acts that harm animal welfare, such as inflicting pain, fear, or stress on owned animals, or moving and exhibiting animals outside the zoo's location.
is the main point. Mrs. Kim said, ``We are happy that animal welfare will be improved.''
