The Lipetsk Zoo donated two peacocks to a company of the 252nd motorized rifle regiment of the Russian Armed Forces as part of the “Who else if not us” campaign. This was reported on the zoo’s social networks, write “NeMoskva Says” and “Rise” .
“For guys in a difficult combat situation, the beauty of birds inspires and brings a piece of joy. This is not an advertisement for the zoo, but a gift from the heart. As soon as the request from the fighters was received, the zoo immediately decided to transfer the birds to them. We hope that the beauty of these birds will brighten up the soldiers’ everyday life in combat,” the publication said.
In a video published by the zoo , a man in a military uniform and a face mask says that an enclosure is being built for peacocks, where military personnel can “catch some kind of spiritual peace.”
Later, posts about peacocks disappeared from the zoo’s social networks. The institution told Podem that the comments under the posts began to insult Russian President Vladimir Putin, so zoo employees deleted them. “The attack by Ukrainian bots happened. Insults against the president are unacceptable,” they said.
