Denmark, the land of enchanting fairy tales and liberal social values, is becoming known as the land of dead zoo animals.
The Copenhagen Zoo, which generated global outrage last month when it killed a healthy 18-month-old giraffe named Marius, said it had to euthanize four lions this week to clear the path for a newly arrived young male lion. The zoo’s decision created a backlash on social media on Wednesday, with some calling the zoo’s staff members “serial killers” and “murderers.”

The article says they euthanized four of the lions that were fed the euthanized giraffe.
Seriously, what is wrong with this zoo?
Well, it’s not like other zoos wouldn’t take in the critters they are killing off. Damn shame.
Thst's all well and good, Jesper, until they get around to judging your quality of life. Perhaps then you would change your tune.
Something’s rotten in Denmark.
(seriously. This made me cry. )
Why do some zoos euthanize healthy animals?
European zoos often put down healthy animals to maintain genetic diversity in a species’ population, but the practice doesn’t occur in U.S. zoos. Why? It all comes down to birth control.

WARNING: Disturbing and outrageous.
They don’t have Rosanne Barr?
Check me, but this has caused more global outrage than Putin’s taking of Crimea.
It remains to be seen if they can survive the bad press and outrage.

It’s run by the government.
kitty ping (sort of)
Nature's concept of justice! Total nonsense. You killed the animals to avoid some potential problems for the zoo, and perhaps because you enjoyed it. You did not do it to give a better life to the animals you killed.
The Netherlands has a long history of accepting euthanasia.
If it takes lioncide to get them to think about the issue, then it does.
Death. The liberal’s cure for suffering. Can’t risk a bad hair day.
I think they made Ceiling Cat cry.
Couldn’t they just give the lions to other zoos? It just seems so sad to put down a healthy cat....
They used to have a zoo in the Tower of London. Really. Foreign leaders would gift the Brits with wild animals from their countries, and the Brits didn’t know what to do with them, so they kept them in the tower, in rather horrid conditions. If you brought along a cat or dog you didn’t want to feed the lions you got free admission.
I watched this very interesting documentary recently called “Secrets of the Tower” and it was fascinating - that was just one of the things in it I did not know.

See the article I linked at post #7. These people are sick.
