The Nurnberg Zoo confirmed that Baboon had killed the number to keep the numbers down, was fed to poachers, after public criticism it was discovered that animals were destroyed after death.
The reports of the ethics of the zoo, animal welfare, and artistic practices on artistic practices, were reduced to animals and some removed their hands and legs.
What did the zoo say about the murders of Babun?
Deputy Zoo Director Jorg Beckman told the DPA news agency that the skulls and brain were separated from the bodies for scientific purposes.
Six of the 12 guinea bubons, which were closed due to congestion, were then fed to lions, tigers, manned wolves and marble polecats. Bakeman said the hands and feet were “removed out of respect for visitors”, who would see the non -vegetarian feeding.
Four bubbons skeletons are being prepared for the museum performance, the zoo said. Two bubbers died unconscious and were sent to Patology Rathe as feed.
Bakeman said that the zoo was openly Inseves in advance that Babun will be used as food,
“We remain transparent and stand by that decision,” he said. He explained that the whole-fashion feeds, unlike the processed food, provides significant dental health benefits for non-vegetarians, in the form of bones and for help. “Unlike many pets, our animals do not need to remove tartar under general anesthesia.”
Hey emphasized the behavior of the search feeding, who mimic the state of natural hunting.
“Evolution equipped them with claws and teeth. There is no nature documentary about big predators where they do not hunt or feed a bodies on a corpse.”
The zoo had said that Babons were killed as the attachment was crowded and no longer met with welfare standards. The animals failed to resume, and birth control measures for women did not work as expected.
In a statement last week, the zoo said that it accepted the emotional effect of the movie, saying that it was understood that many people are “confused, influenced or angry”.
The zoo reported that the group had increased to 40 animals – 25 adults to remove the intended capacity of the attachment.
What has been the reaction?
Animal welfare groups strongly reacted. The office of Nurnberg-Furath Public Prosecutor confirmed that it allegedly received hundreds of criminal complaints on illegal murders and was now reviewing the case.
Activist Group Animal Ribelion started setting up a protest camp near the zoo on Monday. The camp is expected to remain unilateral next Monday, seeking further killings and reproduction programs.
In a statement, the zoo said: “Every opposition that remains peaceful is acceptable for us.”
Why did the zoo say Babun Kulla was necessary?
The Nurnumbberg Zoo stated that this was a last measure after the years of trying to control Babun through non-Slag means, with the contraception with only a limited effect and obstructing the dynamics of the natural group.
Despite the outreach for many institutions, no suitable homes for surplus animals were found.
It was not possible to expand the convenience again due to the priorities of space and funding. The zoo stated that it could not completely prevent reproduction without reducing its long -term conservation role, which requires maintaining healthy, reproductive population.
