The Nuremberg Zoo in Germany recently announced that it will cull nearly half of its baboons
And use them as food for carnivores. The move sparked widespread controversy.
On one side is the "helpless move" of the zoo, and on the other side is the protest of animal protection organizations and the sharp ridicule of netizens.
The zoo says there is too much breeding of baboons that are out of capacity
It has affected the survival of the population and caused inbreeding problems. They believe that this is the only way to ensure the survival of the baboon. However, this explanation did not quell the public outrage.
Animal protection organizations believe
Zoos should look for other solutions instead of sacrificing animal lives. They called on other zoos to receive the baboons, noting that zoos should plan ahead to avoid such incidents.
The comments of netizens are even sharper:
"Is this a human doing?"
"The zoo is not well managed, and it doesn't even do a good job of neutering!" "It's terrible, animals are alive." ”
They questioned the zoo's motives, arguing that it was an excuse for management failures.
Talker Jun believes that the behavior of the zoo is indeed unacceptable.
But should we think more deeply about why this is happening, and is it because we interfere too much in the lives of animals that we are causing such a tragedy?
What does the future hold for zoos?
What can we do to better protect animals? This is not only a question for zoos, but also for each of us.
