Animal
lover opens mini zoo Hyderabad:
A Hyderabad based animal lover has created a mini-zoo in his house, which has
almost 16 breeds of dogs, horses, goats, pigeons, hens and cows. All the animals
are either gifts from K. Naveen’s friends abroad or are procured from the city,
and some rescued from slaughter as well. "I have liked animals since my childhood.
I would refuse to eat if I did not see my dogs. Now I have almost 16 breeds of
dogs, horses, goats, pigeons, hens and cows," said Naveen. Naveen's zoo, which
reminds of ‘Old MacDonald's' rhyme with many animals, is an interesting mix, with
almost 32 imported dogs, 15 types of pigeons, cows of an indigenous variety, mice,
goats and hens. To take care of the animals, there are two veterinary doctors
in the farm. The expenses for the upkeep of the animals, all comes from Naveen's
own earnings. But as the number of animals has increased, Naveen plans to shift
his animals to another farm he has just bought outside the city. The new farm
spread on 11 acres will house more animals and Naveen hopes that better atmosphere
and more space can be provided for his animals there. -June
