She protested her protest after the German zoo removed the chamoma due to overcrowding

An animal garden in Nuremberg in South Nuremberg executed 12 healthy Guinea Papon due to overcrowding in the box, after which they were fed to predators.

Seven animal rights activists were arrested on Tuesday after entering the Tergartin Nuremberg Zoo to protest the decision. One woman paste her hands on the floor near the entrance.

The zoo said that overcrowding caused a “increase in conflicts” between the chamomile and an alternative could not be found to re -houses it.

Christophe Maysak, president of the German Legal Association for Animal Protection, said that allowing animals generated very freely “cannot constitute such a reason” to kill them.

The Nuremberg Zoo announced plans to kill some of the Guinea Babon last year, after its population exceeded 40 – more than 25 that could be included in a completed complex in 2009.

The zoo said that zoos in other countries that have been sent had also been sent to it had also reached birth control capabilities that have failed to slow down population growth.

On Tuesday morning, the zoo announced that it was closing “for operational reasons”, which led to the climbing of the demonstrators over the zoo fence near the entrance, where they were arrested.

Later, the zoo confirmed that it had killed the chamomile – none of them was female or part of scientific studies. The animals were shot, samples were taken for search purposes, then their bodies were fed to predators in the zoo.

DAG ENCKE, director of the zoo, said that the decision came after “looking at years”, and that the execution of animals could be “the last legitimate resort to preserve the population.”

ENCKE added that the procedure was in line with the criteria set by the European Association for Modern and Aquaria (EAZA).

Animal rights groups filed a criminal complaint against the zoo to execute the champion, which was in “perfect health”.

“The decision” can be avoided and illegal, “said a spokesman for Pro Wildlife, adding:” The health animals must be killed because the zoo has maintained irresponsible and unsustainable raising policies for decades. “

European zoos have already sparked controversy from the execution of animals.

In 2014, the zoo in Copenhagen informed a giraffe – Marius is called – because his genes were very close to other giraffes in the zoo education program.

After the death of the giraffe – during which the fly sacrifice was made, cut it and then nourished it to the black – It was broadcast on the Internet.
