A Navi Mumbai-based charitable trust for animals has alleged that the authorities at Byculla zoo, Jijamata Udyaan, are involved in illegal trading of birds and reptiles. Based on the inventory report submitted to the Central Zoo Authority (CZA) by the zoo, Myvets Charitable Trust has highlighted that while the breeding of birds has been going on at farmhouses of private parties, there have been no records of breeding in the zoo for the last 16 years.
