Why they breed their animals at all is a valid question after Marius’s death. It can hardly be because they need meat to feed to their predators, or can it??

STOP ANIMAL ABUSE

“WTF…they didn’t have to kill  him, Marius was offered various homes & even a business man was willing to pay thousands to save the giraffe! It seems it’s rules for one & rules for another in the EAZA operation! If they can’t or don’t want an animal that doesn’t fit their requirements, they should have a system in place whereby the un-wanted animal can always be offered an alternative home; if they can’t manage that…then perhaps they shouldn’t be breeding animals at all!!

I’m ashamed to live in such close proximity to the Copenhagen Zoo, I vow to never again set my foot on their premises. This is totally outrageous!!

STOP ANIMAL ABUSE

WTF…this young giraffe didn’t have to die, this is so fxxxxd up! Marius was offered numerous homes along with a guy willing to pay thousands of pounds to save the animal. This is more than tragic & has shown us the public, an insight into these so called Conservation breeding programs! If these zoo’s allow these births, then they should be prepared to re-home the animals if they do not fit in the correct genetic make-up!!

• Marius was shot with a bolt gun at Copenhagen Zoo
• Spokesman said they were unable to find Marius a home at another zoo
• Thousands had signed petitions appealing for a change of heart
• Yorkshire Wildlife Park reportedly put in a last-ditch offer to take Marius in

This is the horrific moment schoolchildren crowded around to watch as the body of a…

A brutal and misguided mass cull of sharks has begun in Western Australia.

All human deaths at sea are tragic — but this knee-jerk response is scientifically unproven and pushes already vulnerable species to the brink.

Let’s pile the pressure on WA Premier Colin Barnett to halt this senseless shark attack.

Of Course Vegan

The reasons given by the Copenhagen Zoo administration are irrelevant. A healthy animal, already depraved of a natural life and the culture that is supposed to be given to such majestic animals, was shot and murdered because zoo officials felt that 2-year-old giraffe Marius could become involved in “inbreeding.” What happened at Copenhagen Zoo is part of the overall problems facing captivity across the globe. When a healthy living being is forcibly killed, for whatever reason, it should bring us to question once again a system that is continually claimed as saving animals and helping in conservation efforts.

It is plain to see that zoos are in a business and even healthy animals are expendable. Just shoot them dead and feed them to other animals – in this case, lions – for the public to watch and be in awe. This doesn’t even mention how far from a natural African…
