In this video, Nikolai Sobolev discusses his investigation into Taigan Park, a zoo in Crimea that has been at the center of controversy. The park's owner, Oleg Zubkov, had reached out to Sobolev to promote his park and appeal for help against allegedly unfair persecution by the authorities.
However, as Sobolev delved deeper into the park's operations, he discovered disturbing practices, including the mistreatment of animals, inadequate living conditions, and a lack of veterinary care. He also found evidence of Zubkov's questionable behavior, including the exploitation of animals for profit and the sale of alcohol to visitors.
Sobolev's investigation revealed that the park was not as safe as Zubkov had claimed, and that animals were being kept in poor conditions. He also discovered that the park was operating without proper documentation and licenses, and that Zubkov had a history of exploiting animals for financial gain.
The video ends with Sobolev expressing his concerns about the welfare of the animals in the park and calling for the authorities to take action. He also invites his viewers to share their thoughts and opinions on the matter.
