Last attempt to save Marius the giraffe
Earlier today reports were issued by the BBC that tomorrow (Sunday 9th February ) Copenhagen Zoo are planning to euthanase an 18 month old giraffe, Marius as according to their director they were unable to rehome him and no offers had been forthcoming from European Zoos.
On seeing this news, the Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster, immediately contacted Copenhagen Zoo through the YWP Danish Head of Hoofstock who explained to the main zoo reception why the Park urgently wished to speak to the zoo requested a call to confirm the situation regarding the giraffe. YWP has a state of the art giraffe house built in 2012 with a bachelor herd of 4 male giraffes and the capacity to take an extra male. One of the YWP giraffes is Palle, who came from Copenhagen Zoo in September 2012, when he was the same age as Marius.
YWP has not yet received a return phone call from the zoo to confirm if they are seeking a home for Marius.
John Minion, YWP explained ` We have tried to contact Copenhagen to confirm if they are looking to rehome their young giraffe , as this could be a solution that provides a positive outcome for everyone – including Marius’
We are many animal lovers with big hearts in support for your quick response to this insane and heartless decision by the Copenhagen Zoo to kill a perfectly healthy animal and feed the remains to the lions on live TV, without trying to find another home for him. However the problem remains to get acknowledgement
Taking animals down to a "science" level removes the fact they are creatures with feelings, emotions and needs.
As you stated yourself the giraffe needs parenting and family to be well raised.
This being your reason for not castrating him. It diminishes his quality of life you state.
Being scientific, as you claim, is the priority in your reasoning to slaughter the giraffe.
This unbalanced reasoning removes the base core of humanity just as Hitler did by reasoning only blonde hair blue eye citizens should live.
Hence he culled the "weaker" gene poole.
This my friends is exactly what you have done.
You as scientific zoologists should never be in charge of anything living as you have only a scientific brain and no heart.....light
I am ashamed you are even in existence as a zoo to the public.
Then you furthered your insane reasoning by butchering up the young giraffe for everyone to see.
You my ignorant zoo have now accumulated the outrage of not just a nation ... but the world.
Sent from my iPhone just now to the Zoo ....😡😡😡
