I started to cry when I heard about this. Why in the fuck would you kill all these animals? I understand with this economy being shitty, but really, when our animals are endangered and wanting to do this is sick.
Unless this is a tactic for them to get people to fund raise and save these animals, but still, its horrible.

That's horrible...

Unfortunately, I don't think we can really stop this though. It's a huge shame to see such a senseless waste of life.

Someone will try to save them. Some wild life preservation or PETA will protest the hell out of them.

Oh wow that's disgusting. Surely someone wealthy could donate some of their loose change..

Well, depends on what type animals they are. If they happen to be the Jonas Brothers, I'll pay them to do it.

And PETA doesn't whine at stuff like this but bitches when obama kills a Fly

It's pointless to protest if they don't have any money.

Couldn't care less. What value do the animals have, from being in the Zoo? (and I don't mean monetary value.)

Well what do you mean? The animals are still conscious and can still see and feel.

Research, and yeah, sure hundreds of burned animals isn't such thing of value.

Animals may not have the value of a human to us, but that doesn't mean they are without value. Animals make great companions and even friends, it's a shame to see people like you who put the life of anything but a human at 0.

But yeah, poor animals.

Can we eat them?

Horrible.

Edited:

Better than euthanizing them, send em to Africa, they need fuds.

More like 200, christ people read the fucking op it says only those that can't be rehomed would be euthanised which is estimated at 20%.

so society euthanize animals simply for financial purposes but puts suffering hospital victims on life support? makes perfect sense.

Still, it's still live organisms being killed.

Wow.

I went there a couple days ago... This would seriously suck ass. Oh phffft... Fox news talks about this shit all the time it isn't going to close or kill animals that place is always crowded and there's always a shit load of people there it's not gonna go out

Burger King ftw

Since when do they keep cows at a zoo?

why not sell the animals. Not to save them but for profit so they can keep the zoo running with what ever they have left

D'aaaaw... I'll take some of the animals as my pets. I've always wanted a sloth

kill them all

What are the protesters saying? To get the animals out of the zoo? Fine we will just kill them.

Yeah, they should euthanise the less exciting animals and sell them off as rare and delicious meats, and then use the money they rake in to support the other animals!

They should just release them into the countryside of New England

Great Idea! Lets release tigers,lions and elephants in the U.S. wild

I wouldn't mind trying an elephant burger.

i hate all of you trolls.

They have cows at the fair, at the "zoo" area each year. I love cows, even though they smell like shit.

I wonder if they could let me have an alligator, I've always wanted to try it.

no offense to any of you alligator lovers.

I wish we could help these animals, but it would cost too much money out of the zoos income to take these animals to their natural habitats around the world. It would just cost too much in fuel, food, and other expenses that would be needed for a completely humane way of releasing them.

I lol'd, "May have to be...DESTROYED"

Wow that sucks. If the economy goes the way it been going, then it's going to be even worse. I went to the Zoo a few days ago, not this one mind you, but it was free aside from a subway and bus ticket. A lot of fun for so little money... really sucks.

You don't find cool stuff that's cheap to do like that anymore.

Thanks

I like geese. There should be more geese in zoos.

i had an alligator burger once in florida

not joking, it tastes like chicken.

If the wealthy go up in arms about helping out the poor with an american version of the NHS, do you really think they would donate money to a bunch of animals.

Why not you know, Ship them off to other zoos?

They don't have enough money to ship them off.

I'm sure the zoos they are shipping too would gladly pay the costs. Animals are expensive and rare, if they get them at a discount legally than that's just gravy

maybe they shouldn't have captured them in the first place if they weren't willing to release them.

Just set them free in the woods, sure there may be a few lion attacks in the news but hey it'd keep people on there toes.

Geese are annoying as hell when they start squawking.

I'll pay for a Lion's heart that I can eat so I gain its powers.

So can Humans, but I bet you don't give a flying fuck when someone dies right?

Double Standards.

And maybe everybody who finds themselves a stalker on Craigslist should have thought of that before they tried to sell something locally.

Not for long.

Why can't they just ship them to some other country

I don't know why you people are flipping the fuck out about them having to euthanize these animals. It doesn't hurt them, and it's sure as hell a better way to go than starving to death because the zoo can't afford to feed them.

I'm sick of people considering anyone who wants to stop an animal from living 'Evil'. This is the best alternative right now, and they aren't being cruel about it in any way.

Seriously, do you have a better alternative? Or are you all just going to "BAWWW SO SICK AND DISGUSTING BAWWW" the entire time? I think it's sick and disgusting that you people want to make them suffer, and you don't even realize it.

Edited:

Because that costs a shit ton of money. Why do you think they have to euthanize them? They can't feed them or keep their living spaces up.

If they had the money to ship them off, they would.

Edited:

Or maybe those zoos don't have that much money either, or the room, or even the resources to keep them alive.

Think before you post.

Does it bother anyone else that they said they would 'destroy' the animals?

Not KILL them or anything. Just destroy.

they should blow them all up inside outand put it into one of those spike tv montages

The question is, what value do you have?

Not really.
The term used for when animals are put down is destroy.

Edited:

inherent value from being human.

Why were you crying over a bunch of animals?

I'm being serious. People crying over Billy Mays was kind of pushing it, but a bunch of animals? They're being euthanized, it's not like they're starving them or letting them bleed to death. Grow up a little.

I don't see much of a loss here because those animals were trained to perform and exhibit. They're dead anyway if you release them back to Africa or any wild lands.

OH YEAH ur smart

Lets just let them loose in boston


Cause thats teh bezt idea Evr

Edited:

What value does gold have besides that which we give it?

That's a real shame, but there really isn't anything they can do if they don't have any money

There is a difference between "euthanize" and "destroy". For example, one involves lethal drugs, and the other involves lethal fire.

You know if PETA actaully opposed this and made a rukus, I just might join them.

Since when do they serve cows at Burger King?
Have you tasted it?

I can see some company donate money, things like this never go unchecked.

Geese are tasty, a bit gamy but damn good eatin.

While I'm sure lethal injection is a humane way of killing the animals, it's sad that not much effort is being put in to prevent the animals from being put down.

Sell the animals to other zoos and wildlife preserves?

Bawwwww, some animals are going to die.

Yeah. Spicen up those ecological relationships a bit.

Shut the fuck up about the fucking Jonas Brothers, it's completely not relevant to the the fucking thread.

If only I were an eccentric millionaire.

We are going to have to shut down the park sir


*sigh*, all right, grab a club and a gun and meet me out back in 10 minutes

Maybe if we send enough letters to Bill Gates about this he might open up another zoo for the animals.

Not really since killing just implies that they'll leave the body there while destroy implies that they're going to remove it.

now why doesn't peta do anything about this
oh wait
they're busy bitching about obama killing a fly

PETA would never get angry over something that is actually a problem, they'd rather busy themselves with unimportant bullshit like Obama squashing a fly. I mean honestly there's a lot of animal cruelty in the world, but PETA seems to focus on things that pale in comparison.

This makes me fucking mad. What a waste of life.

Poor owls

Why does this make you mad. What is there to be mad about.

That... that's horrible! Why the hell would they kill such a amount of life?

Why the fuck are you all whining about this? Don't you eat meat? It's the same thing.

Edited:

destroying sounds cooler, so not really.

Because they can't afford to feed and house them, they can't afford to send them to other zoos, they can't afford to send them back to where they came from (and since they were raised in captivity, they'd probably die anyway), they're not allowed to release them locally and they're not allowed to just sell them to any person who strolls by.
It's very simple.
Au contraire, that sound is music to my ears! I have had a group of geese gather around me honking and whatnot, and it was quite a fun experience.
The problem is they're just so greasy! Not as bad as duck, but a lot of fat.
