Thanks for clarificatiom! I see that the rule is basically not to care about animal rights issues, which is fine with me. ("We don't know about the issues" in relation to this matter is equal to "we don't know that war kills".)
I won't go with environmentalist groups, as they are here either dilettantes or corrupted or both. But thanks Daniel, we'll contact you when they write application (at this moment, we just have their idea). On May 30, 2014 2:04 AM, "Daniel Mietchen" daniel.mietchen@googlemail.com wrote:

Hi,
I haven't heared any issues with animal treatment in Hungarian zoos (moreover the news I can recall reports continous improvement, like expanding getting renovated/modernised, etc.)
I have no idea about the Serbian ones or the rest of the world.
We've just completed a QR-project with a zoo in Hungary; it might be interesting for you.
Find the documentation (google translator needed as it is in Hungarian-only) here:
http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia%3AMiskolc-m%C5%B1he...
in short: 80 articles were (mostly significantly) improved plus 34 new created (114 articles in total) and the same number of QR codes put out
and
our cooperation won't stop here :)
If you're concerned about animal treatment, think about something else then, for example botanical gardens :)
Also a QRpedia project, also recently completed, but not finished (as the cooperation will continue beyond mainenance) with the country's largest
and
most prestigeous botanical garden and also Hungarian-only documentation:
http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:N%C3%B6v%C3%A9nyek_m%C5%B1helye/...
Both were conducted by Wikipedia project groups thus both had a team of editors behind them.

There is ongoing Microgrants project in Wikimedia Serbia. In brief, we asked people to give us ideas, so we could talk about them. There are some interesting ideas and a number of not so relevant.
We've got the offer to cooperate with one of the zoos from Serbia. At this moment of time, there is just their idea, nothing more precise.
Before I proceed with the application (give suggestion to WMRS Board), I want your input. In reality, I don't know that any zoo is perfect in relation to the treatment of animals. In reality, it's likely impossible to check that, as well as animal rights are not that well protected in Serbia like the case is in, let's say, in the most of EU countries.
So, I am interested in prevalent opinion. What's more important to us: free knowledge or not cooperating with an institution which likely has issues with the treatment of animals -- the question is just about the level.
