Łączna Zoo fundraiser raises 111,000 PLN amid legal investigation

A charity picnic held in Łączna raised 111,129.70 PLN to support the local zoo. The event featured auctions, collections, and various attractions attended by residents and zoo supporters from across the region.

This fundraiser occurs amid ongoing legal proceedings at the Łączna Zoo. Authorities have detained five individuals connected to the facility, including the owner, Marcin Nowaczyk, on charges related to animal protection laws. While a request for Nowaczyk's temporary arrest was denied by the court, the relocation of some animals has begun. The event also saw local protests from residents opposing the removal of the animals.
