Didn't the giraffe they euthanized get feed to the lions?

The article says they euthanized four of the lions that were fed the euthanized giraffe.

Seriously, what is wrong with this zoo?

"It’s 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.

“It’s 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 doesn’t 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.

Death. The liberal’s cure for suffering. Can’t risk a bad hair day.

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.

This "zoo" seems to be nothing more than an abattoir. They don't seem to shift themselves much to rehome unwanted animals. They'd rather kill them. They are a bunch of sick misguided ____s. The "zoo" should either be closed or put into the hands of some actually competent people.

I was REALLY upset about them killing Marius the giraffe and still am. Poor thing, suckered into putting his head down for his favorite treat, only to be shot and butchered.

Despicable! What a horrible zoo!

[MarMema]

I hope soon they can begin to genetically purify their human population as well.

In Denmark it is acceptable and legal to visit animal brothels. I guess the lions would not have worked out for them there though.

One very sick country. They don't have a problem with animal brothels and in fact, the man who killed Marius and runs the zoo in Copenhagen is in charge of the animal brothels. So we know what his life is like after work, I do believe.

This zoo is a Nazi Death Camp for wildlife.

Sounds like it is being run by the PETA nuts!

[dontgivein]

Ah, that beautiful European socialism. What wonderful thing will they come up with next?
