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

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.
