Animals culled and left to rot by bins in a top British safari park


Idioteque

A babboon was executed for acting aggressively.

 

Seems like they're attempting to take the 'wild' out of wild animals, and if it goes balls-up they'll simply chuck the toys out the pram, and adopt the attitude of 'what the heck - we'll draft in another'....... Wow.

 

It's a good thing Sea World Florida didn't adopt such policy re-Tilikum the killer whale. In the case of Tilikum he's being relgated to the zoo equivalent of solitary confinement. BTW after seeing a few doco's [concerning the hunting & behavioural characteristics within an Orca pod] i'm against killer whales being held in captivity, dolphins i might add as well.

You shouldn't really go to these places if you like animals tbh.

 

I guess it depends on the level of ethics adopted by the establishment, effort put into recreate an environment which mirrors it's natural habitat etc.

 

Sadly though [this is more of a reflection on human predation, blackmarkets dealing in coats & parts used for herbal medicine, habitat destruction etc] first rate breeding programs in some notable zoos have made them a necessity in terms of being able to prevent the total extinction of some species. Disappointing to think that some species [Tigers especially] will only be viewable in captivity, in our lifetime as well.

I meant places with dodgy ethics etc. like. Plenty stuff out there on the net about places like Sea World and why you shouldn't go.
