A wildlife park near the town of Castres has been closed for five years, leaving its animals without proper care. The facility, which once housed a variety of wildlife, has fallen into disrepair, and reports suggest that some animals have either been left to fend for themselves or have escaped. This has raised concerns among local residents, who have reported hearing lions roar or coming across animals wandering outside the park's boundaries. The closure of the park has left many questions unanswered about the fate of the animals that once lived there. Some of the species housed at the park, such as big cats and exotic birds, require specialized care that may no longer be available. Local authorities have been contacted, but there has been no official statement on the current status of the animals or plans for their relocation or care. Residents of the nearby village have expressed growing unease about the situation. Some have reported sightings of animals in the surrounding areas, which has led to concerns about public safety. Others worry about the long-term impact on the local ecosystem and the potential for conflict between humans and wildlife. Efforts to address the issue have been limited, and there is a lack of clear information about who is responsible for the animals now. Environmental groups and local activists have called for greater transparency and action from authorities to ensure the well-being of the animals and the safety of nearby communities.
