In the statement, Prague Zoo’s Director Miroslav Bobek, said, “After the landing of [the] aircraft with antelopes at Johannesburg airport, we learned from the carrier (Lufthansa), that the final destination of the consignment was not Johannesburg zoo, but a private keeper - Mr. Clive Albutt [of] Cape Province, South Africa [who] was to deliver some animals to Johannesburg zoo in exchange for our sitatungas!“I find such manners of Johannesburg zoo as extremely unethical. Johannesburg Zoo has abused its reputation of WAZA member. It declared that it wants offered antelopes for themselves, while it has arranged their import for a private breeder, completely unknown to us, and without any our agreement and approval.”
