A zoo in Guadalajara, capital of Jalisco (western Mexico), has opened its veterinary hospital to the public, offering medical care and surgeries in real time to various species. The initiative allows visitors to observe clinical procedures performed with respect and dignity for the animals. Only a glass window separates the public from the biologists and veterinarians who care for 300 different animal species at Guadalajara Zoo. The zoo's aim is to show the care and conservation work they carry out. Luis Soto, the zoo's director, says that this transparency ensures that there is no doubt about their commitment to animal welfare. Recent cases of neglect at other zoos have sparked debates about the implications of keeping certain species in captivity. Soto stressed that modern zoos play a crucial role in conservation, as they offer many species the opportunity to survive and reproduce. Approximately 70% of the animals at the Guadalajara Zoo are endangered or threatened due to habitat encroachment. 🎥: EPA / José Luis González
