Gorakhpur, 6th Oct. As he fed milk to a leopard cub at the Gorakhpur Zoo, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the Ramayana inspires people to protect all living beings.
According to an official release, the chief minister visited the Ashfaq Ullah Khan Zoological Park on Wednesday and held the rescued cub in his arms.
Speaking on the occasion, he referred to the Hindu epic Ramayana, saying that when Lord Rama was clueless about the whereabouts of Maa Sita after she was abducted by Ravana, monkeys, bears, rivers, trees, and stones became his friends.
According to the Ram Rajya (ideal society) spirit, everyone should contribute to the protection of all living beings as well as human welfare. We are also inspired by the Ramayana, said Adityanath, who is also the head of the Gorakhnath Math.
Humans will be safe only when they are aware of their responsibilities to nature and animal conservation, he said, urging everyone to contribute to wildlife conservation.
The chief minister also named two leopard cubs, one of which he fed, and stated that animals are friendly to him because they have the unique ability to understand who can and cannot harm them.
He also stated that falcon conservation centers will be built in Maharajganj, Chitrakoot, and Gorakhpur because these birds are on the verge of extinction.
Adityanath had inaugurated the zoo on March 27, 2021.
