Go artificial .... and charge people anyway.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

If they're going to kill them anyway, why don't they just take like 20% of them, kill them, butcher them, and auction them off to exotic-food eaters?

The proceeds may actually save the zoo and the other 80% of the other animals.

Oh, but wait. That may lead them to continue this practice. And that would be like farming, which would be capitalizing on their assets.

No. Better just kill them all and bury them. That's the socialist way.

How’s that hope and change working out for you, Mr. Giraffe?

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Don’t euthanize the animals.

Get some Texas millionaires together and buy the zoo for your hometown. Reserve a couple of cages in the monkey house for a display of East Coast liberals.

PETA is not going to be happy!

[9YearLurker]

Maybe this is the tactic MA towns need to get their education overrides passed: pay more taxes for our schools or we’ll have to euthanize our cheerleaders and football team!

[rusureitflies?]

Freeze dry and wait or stuff em, waterproof em, and sell them for garden art...

[EggsAckley]

Ah, .......the “firemen first” trick again.

[Richard Kimball]

The old National Lampoon gambit, huh?

[kenth]

The Legislature had originally provided $6.5 million to the zoos, but Gov. Deval Patrick cut the state funding to $2.5 million.

Headline: REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR STARVES HELPLESS ANIMALS!

Oh, sorry, he’s a democrat. Never mind.

[Delta 21]

Just let 'em go in my neck of the woods so I can hunt them down, kill them, butcher and process the kill and then eat them.

[OldMissileer]

This whole thread reminds me of a great little movie named Fierce Creatures, staring John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Kevin Kline.

A zoo in Britain is bought out and if it doesn't make a profit it will be shut down and all the animals killed. I'll leave the rest for you to watch.

I just bought the DVD for only a few bucks on Amazon and it is very funny.

One trip to the zoo is all most current-day kids seem to be interested in. Maybe if the great apes in the zoo could be taught to text-message with visitors...

Zoo May Close, Euthanize Animals; Budget Cuts Threaten Boston Zoo

Of course that son of a bitch governor Deval Patrick won't cut one cent in welfare to help save the zoo. But then again, animals in the zoo do not vote Democrat.

I suppose Gov. Patrick is merely continuing the fine Massachusetts tradition of politicians simply killing those who get in their way.
