Polish people becoming increasingly sensitive to animal suffering

Ptasi Azyl, operating for 25 years at the Warsaw Zoo, has already helped 75,000 birds regain their health and return to full functionality. The center's staff has encountered various cases of injured and needy animals, and their observations indicate that people's sensitivity to bird suffering is growing. There is also a growing awareness in society of how to provide help, but mistakes still occur. In emergencies, it is important not to attempt to help on one's own or take injured animals home, but to contact the appropriate facility. Trained professionals at these centers will treat wounds and fractures, providing birds with proper rehabilitation and nutrition.

"Poland is a leader when it comes to animal rehabilitation centers. If we look at the General Directorate for Environmental Protection's website, we will find a map and a list of rehabilitation centers, which number in the dozens. There are dozens of places where we can get help for both birds and mammals," Dr. Agnieszka Czujkowska, director of the Ptasi Azyl Center, said.

"This is a huge leap because 20-30 years ago, even if we wanted to help, we couldn't find this assistance," she added.
