NO SPARING THE GUILTY IN BLACKBUCK DEATHS IN ZOO
The New Indian Express Anantapur
|November 24, 2025
THE deaths of 31 out of 38 blackbucks at the Kittur Rani Chennamma Mini Zoo in Belagavi, Karnataka, are more than an institutional embarrassment.

They are a moral failure. These animals—icons of India's grassland heritage and listed under Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972—died not because Hemorrhagic Septicemia (HS) is unstoppable, but because the authorities ignored every early warning they received. HS is notorious for its speed: a threeto five-day incubation window that leaves no time for bureaucratic dithering. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research-National Institute of Veterinary Epidemiology & Disease Informatics (ICAR-NIVEDI) had issued not one but two 'Vet Alerts' through its AI-assisted National Animal Disease Referral Expert System (NADRES), clearly identifying Belagavi as a district at risk. These alerts were not academic memos.
