Well it appears that The NSW govt. zoos are having a very unfortunate period at the moment.

it is tragic accidents and in the case of judy a humane decision. the ZPB of NSW does have a long history of keeping elephants which have attained remarkable ages, conducts it very succesful rhino breeding programs and only 3 weeks ago was celebrating the 60th birthday of fifi the chimpanzee, one of 3 great apes to reach or be close to this milestone age.
in addition, taronga has or had long-lived tigers, lions, kodiak bears, giraffes, seals, just to name a few. i dont think taronga or western plains zoo are in any way bad at what they do, although i will say that the orang enclosure would now be looking kinda empty, wouldnt it? |

In case anyone is wondering, Judy wasn't euthanised for space reasons, she had been terribly sick for a while. :0( |

i think it's really quite sad that both zoos are receiving such negative publicity over the recent spate of animal deaths. i can see where the welfare groups are coming from, but i really think they are just nuts (excuse the language) sometimes.
