Didn't the giraffe they euthanized get feed to the lions?
To: Daffynition
The article says they euthanized four of the lions that were fed the euthanized giraffe.

Well, it’s not like other zoos wouldn’t take in the critters they are killing off. Damn shame.

"Its better for the animal to have a good life than to live" and have a bad life, [Jesper Mohring-Jensen] said by phone. Thst's all well and good, Jesper, until they get around to judging your quality of life. Perhaps then you would change your tune.

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.

Its better for the animal to have a good life than to live and have a bad life, he said by phone. That is the Danish view, which is different from the American view. The discussion can sometimes become unscientific and based more on feelings than understanding of animals. Nature doesnt have the same concept of justice as humans. 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.

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.
