I think this is hilarious. They let everyone know they were putting down the giraffe, everyone brings the kids, the zoo is evil for slaughtering the animal in front of the kids.

(CNN) -- An online petition to save a healthy young giraffe from death has failed, despite thousands of signatures from animal lovers.
Copenhagen Zoo said it euthanized the male, named Marius, on Sunday because of a duty to avoid inbreeding.
After an autopsy, "Marius" was dismembered in front of a zoo audience that included children, and fed to the zoo's lions.

Why couldn't Marius have been sent to other zoos or given to the man that would have paid 700,000 for him? I don't understand this at all.

I can't even allow myself to think about this :(

I know it happens in the wild; animals become food for other animals, but zoo animals are there because of HUMANS. We should be their stewards. :(

I don't see the problem.
Their giraffe, their lion, their decision.

It's not like people went there not knowing what was about to happen and 3,000 lbs of fresh game meat suitable to for feeding a lion ain't cheap
