A Kerala forest official has been suspended for sharing footage of deer killed by stray dogs at the newly-opened Puthur Zoological Park in Thrissur, raising questions about security protocols and wildlife protection. While swift action was taken against the whistleblower, no accountability has been established for the security failures that led to the deaths of at least 10 deer, despite the park's Rs 370 crore investment.
