It seems like a tragic story if you put aside the point at which they were taken there. I hope the park staff are aware that they need to do a better job of identifying relocation areas as it wasn't as if they didn't know what was going on in the area, there's no point in wasting time and resources sending animals to their death,  thinking that for by some miracle they will survive and thrive. This type of error must be remembered as a way to avoid new cases and seek solutions for these places before trying to reintroduce species. Reply
