It is normal to put down breeding stock that is past it’s breeding life or to avoid inbreeding. This is standard animal husbundry whether it’s at the zoo or the farm.

Trying to apply sanctity of human life standards to animals is the kind of stupid squeamishness and excessive emoting that results in actual cruelty to animals.

One zookeeper suggested that since in nature, a tigress is occupied by her cubs and caring for them in captivity keeps her from going stir-crazy, and, tiger cubs are a big money-making draw to the zoo, and, there is a large surplus of tigers in captivity, it would make sense to breed tigers, euthanize the cubs at a year or so, and start over. She knew it wouldn’t fly with the public.

Why not go for the full profit? Sell the coats to the fur trade, and the bones or whatever to the Chinese medicine trade.

Why is this so common?

why they can’t make arrangements with other zoos or - gasp -raise the cub on their own they’re ‘experts’,

it’s like sentient animals are just effing toasters to be tossed out when they aren’t useful to us. this whole disposable mentality of the left is sickening.

“...teach children that “nature can be cruel.”

Yeh, well, with that line of reasoning, they should kill and stuff the zoo officials to REALLY get the point across about the cruelty of nature.
