Employees at a zoo in Erfurt illegally killed animals and sold them as food. The zoo director has been fired as a result of the scandal.
Lots of people like looking at animals in zoos. Lots of people also like eating meat. However the thought of the two things together tends to turn most people's stomachs.
But not all apparently. Employees at the Erfurt zoo, it was revealed Wednesday, have for years been killing animals and selling their meat for zoo stew. Germany is outraged.
The city of Erfurt quickly stepped in to the growing scandal, announcing on Thursday that zoo director Norbert Neuschulz had been relieved of his duties. The public prosecutor's office are investigating the case to see if any crimes were committed.
The animals killed were all "slaughterable" animals such as goats, sheep, pigs and deer, said Erfurt city hall spokeswoman Inga Hettstedt, and the meat was not sold to restaurants. However the mass circulation newspaper Bild reported Thursday that ducks, quails and even guinea pigs were also involved. The zoo, which is owned by the city of Erfurt, has over 1,400 animals belonging to around 190 species.

Michael Vick would have loved it there.
“Zoo Stew.” Man those Germans are efficient. Waste not, want not.
But does it taste like chicken?
Guinea Pigs are a delicacy in Brazil
Guinea Pigs were a staple diet item of the Incas.............
where is PETA?
Can muslims eat guinea pig?
So were human hearts, but I ain’t ordering any soon. :-)
Not “PC”.
(Offensive to both Italians and Muslims.)
What is it about Germans and Guinea pigs? There was the fellow who killed and cooked his girlfriend's pet a few weeks ago.
If you have critters that can (and do) breed in captivity, then you need to do something with the excess critters
Oh, quit dogging Michael.

Piece of My Heart Lyrics
Artist(Band):Janis Joplin
(Come on…)
Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only man, well yeah,
An’ didn’t I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I’ve had enough,
But I’m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, (break a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah. (have a..)
Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh yes indeed.
You’re out on the streets looking good, and baby,
Deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain’t right,
Never never never never never never never hear me when I cry at night.
Baby, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can’t stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I’ll sing it once again.
I’ll say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, (come on…)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
Well, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good
Guitar
I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a…)
Break another little bit of my heart, darling, yeah. (have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it (waaaaahhh)
Take a…Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a…)
Break another little bit of my heart, and darling, yeah yeah (have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good
Why do I have a suspicion that the perps (employees) are not native Germans?
Wonder who they sold the meat to?
Guesses, anyone?
Fortunately, I found out what it was days after I enjoyed it.
