Ok, there has been a lot of stuff concerning Copenhagen Zoo lately, and most of it is BS. I don't know if someone already has made a post about this, but I am going to make one anyway.
On the 9th of February CZ euthanized a baby giraffe, which caused a heck of a backlash. The giraffe was a healthy male, but do to that he would cause inbreeding in the European breeding program, CZ had to put him down. *sniff* It was necessary, but instead of wasting a good opportunity, CZ used the tragic event well. (I'm danish, don't judge me on my crappy english)
They took the giraffe away, put it down humanely, then brought it out so they could use the body educationally. They let people come, and then they dissected it. People where not forced to watch, and they didn't randomly kill a giraffe in front of a bunch of people, as some think. They basically gave people a once in a lifetime experience.
Waste not, want not, after the dissection they gave the meat from the giraffe to the predators, which they do with most of their animal corpses. People have been hating on CZ, even though they handled everything really professionally, and I don't think that's fair. I just wanted to let people know what actually happened. There are facebook pages and shit that want to close CZ. Dont. I have been going there my entire life, and it is a really awesome place. They just built a new enclosure for their polar bears, and its really big and nice. Here's a link to their website: http://uk.zoo.dk/VisitZoo.aspx Please support them! They really didn't deserve all of this BS.
Thanks to those that didn't TL;DR Here's a picture of my dog when he was a puppy.
