I visited Korangi Zoo where adult tickets cost 50 rupees each. Unfortunately, I observed some distressing conditions: two monkeys were dying due to forceful fasting, a hedgehog was agitated due to heat stress, confined in concrete cages without shade. Several deer lacked grass and shade, and thick fencing obstructed the view of ostriches. Additionally, ducks, geese, and turtles appeared motionless, resembling statues, while two pelicans and a crocodile were present. The bird cage housed only common birds, and the fish aquarium, with a 30 rupees fee, was dimly lit with unwashed tanks and sluggish fish. The facility also offered battery-operated car rides for 100 rupees per token. Overall, it was a disappointing experience—a waste of time and money. I would advise others to either stay home or prioritize other destinations over this zoo.
