ZEE NEWS ON AIIMS ANIMALS

Fifty of the 90 rabbits are suffering from an infectious skin disease, and several including a few guinea pigs have gone blind.Physical trauma apart, after years of captivity and lack of fresh air many monkeys and rats have gone over the edge: they spend their day going around in circles in their cages — called nervous breakdown.All this information and a video were provided to Hindustan Times by a person who says he/she was allowed unrestricted access to the facility for several days recently.
