They've executed Marius

Sheesh , its not like they've stuck its head in some child's bed.[/quote]

Some head, some neck..

Poor Marius. Here he is sticking his head through his enclosure to accept a carrot or have his forehead scratched by whom he thought were his friends. Next thing you know, they're pulling him down to the ground, scrambling his brain with an humane killer, disecting him in front of school children and feeding him to the lions.

Yeah but lions gotta eat.. You want them to starve? Think of the poor little cubs, Leo and Leonora!

(If you get too close to a Giraffe it'll lick your face. Not to worry though, due to their diet - thorns - their saliva is an excellent anti-septic.)

Feed them the head of African megafauna. I am sure he can be spared.

A zoo in Denmark that provoked outrage after putting down a healthy giraffe has killed a family of four lions to make way for a new young male lion.

Copenhagen Zoo says it "had to euthanise" two cubs and their parents after it failed to re-home them.

The 16-year-old male and 14-year-old female were nearing the end of their natural lives in captivity, it added.

Last month, the zoo killed a healthy giraffe because it was deemed surplus to requirements.

"Because of the pride of lions' natural structure and behaviour, the zoo has had to euthanise the two old lions and two young lions who were not old enough to fend for themselves," the zoo said in a statement.

According to zookeepers, the male cub "would have been killed by the new male lion as soon as he got the chance."

The zoo said it had asked other parks to take the 10-month-old cubs, but had received no offers.

The new male lion is due to arrive in the next few days and will be introduced to the zoo's two female lions who, born in 2012, have reached breeding age.

Last month, the manager of the zoo received death threats after a healthy two-year-old giraffe called Marius was put down and later dissected in front of visitors.

The zoo said the animal did not fit in with the park's breeding programme but the move shocked animal lovers across the world.

Despite the outcry over the death, the zoo said it did not believe it was necessary to change its procedures.

A spokesman for the zoo said there would be no public dissection of the lions since "not all our animals are dissected in front of an audience".

I'd like to say that I'm bothered but I'd be lion.

After a brief paws I got it.

I suppose I'd better go to a Sealife centre with @User14044 to get a seal of approval.

They mind that a bit fishy, what will you give as the porpoise of your visit?

 

[vernon]

Monkey business.

So unecessary; how difficult would it have been to stick him in a donkey or horse sanctuary? Not chance of breeding but would have had a life running round fields and stuff. I would have taken him had my garden been big enough.

Don't tread on an ant
He's done nothing to you.
There might come a day
When he's treading on you!
Cut off his head
Legs come looking for you!
