Animals also obviously get bored being confined in zoos or even safari parks. And exploitation and abuse of animals is not unknown, especially in zoos lacking oversight by outside agencies. But Marius was killed in a respected zoo in a major European capital in a country with a reputation for progressive thinking. And he was the byproduct of a breeding program to which zoos throughout Europe subscribe and whose scientists endorsed the execution of Marius, the innocent.
In effect, they decided the world, never mind the Copenhagen Zoo, was too small for one more healthy, two-year-old giraffe
In the same week Marius was killed, thousands of dogs were poisoned and shot in Sochi, Russia, to "clean up" a sub-tropical city that was chosen to host the Winter Olympics. Apparently, the humans there and in Copenhagen never heard of controlling a population of animals by neutering them instead of killing them.
Such arrogant disregard for life will ultimately be the downfall of the human race.
