Copenhagen Zoo That Killed Giraffe Now Killing Healthy Lions & Cubs
Man WTF is wrong with these people.
First they kill a healthy giraffe and feed it to the lions which was disgusting. Now they kill 4 healthy lionesses and cubs. They said it was to make room for a new male lion that would prey on the cubs anyway. Can't they give these lions a new home instead of 6 feet under? I don't get it. Maybe these assholes should not be allowed to run a zoo. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/27/wo...rage.html?_r=0 http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...world-science/ http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26734377 "Denmark, the land of enchanting fairy tales and liberal social values, is becoming known as the land of dead zoo animals. The Copenhagen Zoo, which generated global outrage last month when it killed a healthy 18-month-old giraffe named Marius, said it had to euthanize four lions this week to clear the path for a newly arrived young male lion. The zoo’s decision created a backlash on social media on Wednesday, with some calling the zoo’s staff members “serial killers” and “murderers.” The zoo justified the killings of the two parents, ages 14 and 16, and their cubs on the grounds of genetic purity and conservation, noting that the new lion would invariably prey on the cubs, while there was a risk that the older male lion would try to breed with one of the female lions that were his offspring. Lions ate the remains of Marius, a healthy giraffe, after the Copenhagen Zoo killed him because his genes were well represented. “If the zoo had not made the change in the pride now, then we would have risked that the old male would mate with these two females — his own offspring — and thereby give rise to inbreeding,” it said in a statement on Wednesday.

I despise PETA I have no problem with hunting, fishing or meat farming, and I don't have qualms about Kosher, Halaal or some other non-'humane' forms of animal slaughter. I have a problem with posters who don't take the time to read an item before posting about it, which is what seems to have happened with Fish in this thread. |

It was beautiful, man.
We were both traveling around through Europe by ourselves. I had been in Europe for about 3 weeks and decided to go to Nice on a whim. She was staying in the same hostel as I was. Met her on the patio right after I arrived. We clicked right away. Walked down to the beach together, sat by the topless sunbathers, ate gelato, breathed the mediterranean air. The sun went down, but it was a warm night. We bought a bottle of champagne at a market nearby and drank it on the beach. We talked and talked and talked. We finally went back to the hostel and she invited me to stay with her. She had a serious boyfriend back in Denmark, but she wanted to sleep together. For the next two days we were inseparable; we explored all of Nice together. Went to museums, art galleries, markets, and just talked and talked. She was beautiful and incredibly interesting. Those 3 days are probably one of my most treasured memories, now that I think about it. Last edited by SPATCH; 03-27-2014 at 05:15 PM.. |
