The Debrecen Zoo and Theme Park were closed because of the deaths of three animals. The authorities are making an allowance: the theme park can be opened on Easter but the zoo will be still closed.
A lion died of anthrax on 9 April and in the last few days a leopard and a giraffe also perished. Since then, the sterilization of the zoo was done and almost all the animals are getting medication to prevent further infections.
István Tischler, leader of the animal health directorate says that the situation of the park is reassuring, however the zoo is to be closed for a while.
