I hope people boycott this place it doesn't sound much of a zoo to me granted I only have twycross for reference but agree they seem to have only one solution to a problem.

Re: Danish zoo shoots giraffe

Very sad that this seems to be their solution ... Death of an unwanted animal in their care makes me wonder how they can call themselves caring as they really seem to believe their is no other way ... IMO

Some useful thoughts on that here

“Dissections are an old Danish tradition going back 400 years,” says Sandøe, “and taking a trip to see something like this is a typical thing to do with school-aged children in the holidays – it can open their eyes to the world of science.”

A straw poll of Danish friends confirms this view. One tells me about a school trip to see a wolf getting dissected. Another tells me that his nine-year-old niece is such a fan, she asked to see a snake slit open for her birthday. Animal autopsies are so popular in Denmark that institutions often have to hold two-a-day in school holidays to meet demand.

Do schools still dissect rats?

Re: Danish zoo shoots giraffe

My secondary school certainly did, but that was the early 90s.

Apparently not so much now http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education...ety-fears.html

We did it in the mid 70's in secondary school.

In the early 60s my school didn't dissect rats but we did dissect mice, frogs, fish and earthworms.

I seem to remember dismantling, dissection would be too elegant a term, a frog in biology lessons in the late sixties.:D

I remember enjoying the set-up that had to be done before we were allowed to make the first cut. Pinning down the subject onto the dissection board always appealed to my ghoulish nature with my forte being drawing in great detail the end results.

Looking back I was a weird child. :D

What with the Russian Police shooting a brown bear which got into a super market.

Now we have a German pig who shot a 40 year old Elephant for a game trophy. He paid $40,000 for the disgusting act.
