Zoo Kills Marius the Giraffe in front of Kids and Feeds Him to Lions
Staff at a Danish zoo where a healthy giraffe was euthanized have received death threats as debate rages online over the killing, which took place despite a petition signed by thousands of animal lovers. Several staff members were targeted after the animal, named Marius, was put down, Copenhagen Zoo spokesman Tobias Stenbæk Bro told CNN on Monday. He added that Bengt Holst, director of research and conservation at Copenhagen Zoo "received threats via telephone and e-mails." While some American zoo officials have said this is not standard practice for their facilities, the executive director of a European body governing 345 institutions has said that this can be chalked up to a misunderstanding about what is "normal in Danish culture" and that zoological experts could do a better job of communicating. "People have perhaps lost sight of the bigger picture and perhaps we as zoos have not been good at explaining why on very few occasions we need to make decisions like this," said Lesley Dickie, executive director of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria. The Copenhagen Zoo said it euthanized Marius on Sunday to avoid inbreeding. A veterinarian shot Marius with a rifle as he leaned down to munch on rye bread, a favorite snack. After an autopsy the giraffe was dismembered in front of an audience that included children and fed to the zoo's lions, tigers and leopards. "Our giraffes are part of an international breeding program, which has a purpose of ensuring a sound and healthy population of giraffes," Holst told CNN. "It can only be done by matching the genetic composition of the various animals with the available space. ... When giraffes breed as well as they do now, then you will inevitably run into so-called surplus problems now and then." As for the public autopsy, Holst said Monday that the zoo staff saw it as a learning opportunity because zoos have an obligation "not to make nature into a Disney World," but rather show those interested in "the real thing." He further pointed out that most of the children in attendance brought their parents to the autopsy, not vice versa. "It's not by accident that people came by here," he said. This may speak to the cultural gap Dickie referenced. At the Copenhagen Zoo, she said, all euthanized animals are autopsied, with some parts used for research and the rest of the animal fed to the zoo's carnivores. "They strongly believe that the public should know how autopsies are done, what is the work of a vet in the zoo," she said. Shame on whom? That didn't dull the outrage sparked by the killing, as many people expressed their revulsion on the zoo's Facebook page. "I find the killing of innocent baby giraffe Absolutely Barbaric. And to do it in front of children just desensitizes them to brutal killing of animals. SHAME ON YOU!" Hope Welch posted Monday. However some users pointed out the hypocrisy of those who criticized the zoo without any understanding of the reasons behind the euthanasia, or who ate meat without knowing its true origin. "The level of crass hypocrisy demonstrated by the vast majority of comments on this thread is absolutely repugnant. Shame on you, armchair warrior, shame on you," wrote Matthew Ogden. OPINION: Why killing Marius doesn't stand up to scrutiny More than 27,000 people had signed a "Save Marius" petition, appealing for a last-minute change of heart. "The zoo has raised him so it is their responsibility to find him a home," author Maria Evans wrote on the petition site. When that petition failed, another petition popped up Monday, titled, "Fire Bengt Holst From the Copenhagen Zoo For Having Marius the Giraffe Killed." It had more than 16,000 signatures as of 3:30 p.m. ET. Zookeeper and TV personality Jack Hanna, who is also director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio, joined the chorus of outrage Monday, calling the Copenhagen Zoo's decision "the most abominable, insensitive, ridiculous thing I've ever heard of." He also questioned why the Copenhagen Zoo would keep breeding animals for which they didn't have room. The Columbus Zoo would never euthanize an animal in this manner, Hanna said, and he wouldn't condone showing an animal consume another animal to children. "I know it's natural in nature. I'm not an idiot," he said, "but I don't need to have some 2- and 3- and 6-year-olds -- they cannot understand at that age. You understand they don't understand nature. They haven't been to Africa, so that's what we do at the zoos. We try to educate people at zoos on what happens in the wild." Which is exactly what Holst argues the Copenhagen Zoo was doing. As for exploring other purportedly more humane options, such as lethal injection or sterilization, Holst said that an injection would have contaminated about 200 kilograms of perfectly good meat, which was out of the question. He added, "if we just sterilize him, he will take up space for more genetically valuable giraffes."- published: 10 Feb 2014

Giraffe slaughtered at Copenhagen Zoo and fed to other animals
He was 18-months-old but Marius the young giraffe at Copenhagen Zoo had to go. Despite a campaign to save him he was shot in the head. Officials outlined the reasons as a lack of space and the need to comply with European rules on in-breeding. The animal had to be put down to ensure a healthy giraffe population, they stressed. After the shooting, there was a public carving of the carcass. A British zoo had offered to give Marius a home and an online petition resulted in more than 25,000 sign...

Copenhagen Zoo Marcus the Giraffe LEAVE A MESSAGE TO Copenhagen Zoo NEVER AGAIN. A UK zoo offered to rehome a two-year old giraffe from Copenhagen Zoo before it was put down. The zoo said it had no choice and but to destroy the animal due to EU rules on inbreeding. It also said the young giraffe, Marius, would be a danger to other bulls. According to the BBC, Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster contacted the zoo after learning about Marius's plight. John Minion, joint managing director of the park said: We tried to contact Copenhagen to confirm if they were looking to rehome their young giraffe, as this would be a solution that would have provided a positive outcome for everyone - including Marius. Zoo animals are hit every year to avoid in-breeding, but Copenhagen Zoo said it has never put down a giraffe. They added that it was not an option to send Marius to a national park in Africa as he could be seen as a prey because of his attachment to humans. Marius will be put to death by a bolt gun and then dissected before being fed to the other animals, the Zoo said. An online petition, set up to save the giraffe, has already received over 24,000 signatures. Yorkshire zoo 'saddened' by giraffe death reports The UK zoo that offered to rehome a young giraffe facing death in Copenhagen Zoo, has said that it is "saddened" by reports that it had been killed. Yorkshire Wildlife Park said in a statement it had contacted the Danish zoo, but did not hear back: Yorkshire Wildlife Park is saddened to hear reports from Copenhagen that 18 month old giraffe Marius has been euthansed. When news of the plan was revealed on Saturday YWP immediately contacted Copenhagen Zoo via YWP's Head of Hoofstock who is Danish and explained to the zoo why the Park urgently wished to speak to the zoo and requested a call to confirm the situation regarding the giraffe. YWP confirmed that they had contacted the zoo but had not heard back.- published: 09 Feb 2014

Denmark giraffe controversy: Second zoo plans to kill giraffe called Marius
Mere days after the grim, public death of an 18-month-old giraffe named Marius at a zoo in Denmark's capital, a second Danish zoo has announced that it may too put down one of its giraffes, according to Danish news agency Ritzau. Animals lovers the world over reacted in outrage on Sunday after Copenhagen Zoo slaughtered a healthy young giraffe and carried out a gruesome public dissection for all to see. The Danish Jyllands Park Zoo, located in western Denmark said on Wednesday that if it goes ahead with plans to acquire a female giraffe it will have to put down one of its two male giraffes, a seven-year-old, coincidentally also named Marius. A representative for the institution, which also has a younger male called Elmer, told local media that killing surplus animals is not an uncommon practice in Danish zoos. The zoo has sadly not yet ruled out the possibility of carrying out a public dissection similar to the one in Copenhagen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.
