Overview
- A widely shared clip from Sanjay Gandhi Biological Park shows a white tiger appearing weak, lethargic, and undernourished inside its enclosure.
- PETA India urged relocating the animal to a sanctuary, citing possible zoochosis and the potential for improved body condition, and tagged the Central Zoo Authority and Bihar officials.
- Zoo authorities issued a press note asserting the tiger is medically fit, properly fed, and under veterinary supervision, rejecting accusations of neglect.
- Social media users and visitors questioned the adequacy of nutrition, medical care, and enrichment and pressed for a clear, public health update.
- Beyond the brief statement, no detailed veterinary findings have been released, and the footage—reportedly recorded on February 18—continues to fuel calls for an independent health audit.
