Jaguar shot dead at Manaus CIGS Zoo during Olympic torch relay Rio 2016: Jaguar in Amazon torch relay shot dead - BBC News
The real question is what happened to the IDIOT who originally thought this was a good idea, putting a jaguar and fire together?
These were extremely sad news... Still reminds us nowadays how mean people can be. It was a ridiculous idea, that, in my opinion, finished in the worst way possible...
I wish they would have fired the responsible zoo manager (and political managinators) for this as it exemplifies a complete lack of concept of adequate zoo husbandry management. Aside, the idea of animal performances in this fashion are totally outdated. I expect what I wish for has never happened ...., and they are still in place despite the dramatic consequences. Sadly! Perhaps an idea to start individual threads for each of the major Brasilian zoos. Manaus is a big city ...., on the banks of the Amazon ... and with one of the rarest tamarin species just around the corner from the city (and being threatened by that same city for land and resource use).
Yeah, everything was wrong with this "presentation"... Something should have been done at the time, but... nothing... It's at least frustrating for anyone who cares a little for the animals... About the threads for each zoo, some already have,(BH, SP, RJ...) and I agree about creating some for the other institutions that still haven't.
