The Zookeepers at the Zoo in Copenhagen explained it like this:
“If we’re serious about science, we can’t be led by emotion.”
That's how they justify their execution by rifle of this perfectly healthy two year old giraffe.
TIME has the details.
They may very well win the science war, but this is a public relations disaster of the highest order. Everyone involved in the decision should be canned.
[UPDATE: There is a facebook page that includes photos of Marius after death being autopsied (actually necropsied) and cut up as food for the lions as children watch. The Daily Mail website includes a photo of the lion devouring parts of Marius' body. Must be a Danish thing.]
