Subramanian said the park cannot keep animals without the Central Zoo Authority’s permission.
Manager of Dolphin Aquarium, Owen Misquitta, said that till recently they were not aware that forest department permission was mandatory. “We have for long been treating and releasing animals and have records of animals given treatment. Qualified vets treat them.”
Misquitta claimed that they never possessed lizard skin or turtle shells but only scales shed naturally by snakes. He added that the Rs 10 fee was for a stroll in the garden and not for seeing the animals.
