DO not fly drones near the zoo.
This is the plea given to members of the public by the Emperor Valley Zoo in Port-of-Spain.
On Sunday, the zoo posted on Facebook page hat a drone was flown into the enclosure which kept a giraffe.
The zoo posted, “This morning a drone was flown inside of the giraffe enclosure at the zoo.
“We are pleading with persons to not use their drone over the zoo, as this frightened the animals and could have caused the giraffe to stampede, in doing so severe injury could have occurred.
“This type of equipment causes stress and discomfort to any animal in close proximity, we are appealing to the person or persons using their drone in the area to cease and desist from flying over the Emperor Valley Zoo.”
