As Marius went...

...so to, some day, will his human murderers' progeny?

Death sentence and execution decided and dictated by bureaucratic collective as the most benevolent deed for the very life of the individual being...

...how evilishly contradictory, how prototypically statist.

Did Marius The Giraffe Have To Die?

Copenhagen Zoo explains its decision to euthanize healthy, 2-year-old beast

Poor Marius. At 10 am Sunday morning, the young giraffe was put down by his minders at the Copenhagen Zoo, despite the fact that he was perfectly healthy (and utterly adorable). Then, with television cameras rolling and dozens of families watching, the giraffe’s body was skinned and carved up for tiger meat.

The zoo said it had no choice but to euthanize the two-year-old giraffe, because Marius was part of an international breeding program whose bylaws prohibit inbreeding in an effort to maintain the health of the stock.

“The purpose of the breeding program is to have as healthy a population as possible, not only now, but in the future,” said the zoo’s scientific director, Bengt Holst, in an interview with TIME. “As this giraffe’s genes are over-represented in the breeding program, the European Breeding Programme for Giraffes has agreed that Copenhagen Zoo euthanize him.”

A staff veterinarian anesthetized the animal, before shooting it through the head with a bolt-action rifle. Marius died instantly.

..."If we’re serious about science, we can’t be led by emotion."

In a world where giraffes are truly valued as equal living beings...

...a neck for a neck must surely apply.
 
why didn't obama use one of his drones?

I guess sterilization never occurred to them.

1. Tigers gotta eat, too.

2. Killing them is cheaper than feeding them for years.

3. If it remains sexually active after sterilization, it will remove mates from the gene pool.
 
Your outrage is appreciated. PETA is on their way to your doorstep to sign you up.

Nice to know the Alex Jones fan-base is alive and kickin'.
 
Death panels were invented by insurance companies, not the government. Since you're trying to politicize this, you should at least get it right.
 
I live around here, and have visited that zoo several times.

And just because it is a giraffe, and someone has named it "Marius"..... And it has big brown eyes!
They go crazy about it.

A crowd of demonstrators showed op in front of the zoo (six in total, but they were outraged!) and the press coverage has been huge.

It is a breeding program! And when you breed animals (did you notice that we are talking about an animal?) you cull the surplus and the ones not suitable for breeding.
Yes, Walt Disney never mentioned that, but that is how it is.

When a parent murders a child, it gets less press coverage than this!


Too bad they wasted the meat on the lions. They should have sold it to the local restaurants instead.

Speaking of breeding and humor:

You two should meat up and mate...

...King0, ruse and Renard could use your offspring to keep their minds company.
 
And also, 1sickbastard:

Assuming you are a male and sigh is a female...

...when your respective meats do mate, you may want to pull out just before you're completely spent, and dribble a dab or two down her thigh to attempt a recreation of the conception of another little de Wannabe.

Just a suggestion...
 
First they came for the Giraffes, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Giraffe.

Some people watch porn. Eyer likes to discuss others' sex lives, be they real or imaginary.
 
Marius, you're no longer a child
I do not doubt you mean it well
But now there is a higher call.
Who cares about your lonely soul?
We strive toward a larger goal
Our little lives don't count at all!
