Fireworks likely caused the death of a baby red panda at Edinburgh Zoo after she became so stressed that she choked on her own vomit, experts from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) said on Thursday.
Fireworks likely caused the death of a baby red panda at Edinburgh Zoo after she became so stressed that she choked on her own vomit, experts from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland said on Thursday. Three-month-old Roxie died on November 5, known as Bonfire Night in the UK when several firework displays light up the night sky to mark the anniversary of a failed plot to blow up London’s Houses of Parliament in 1605.
a wildlife conservation charity that runs Edinburgh Zoo, is now calling for tighter restrictions on fireworks given the risks they pose to animal welfare. The organization also pointed to a public petition that has been signed by more than 1 million people and was delivered to the UK government last week.
