2014 February 27, Marc Bekoff, “Zoos "Zoothanize" Many Healthy Animals, According To BBC”, in The Dodo, archived from the original on March 21, 2023:The killing of Marius, a young and healthy giraffe at the Copenhagen Zoo, has resulted in a good deal of press about the ways in which zoos deal with what they call "surplus animals". It also has been responsible for motivating many people to speak out against this most inhumane practice. I call this "The Marius Effect" (see also) and the killing of these animals "zoothanasia" not euthanasia, or what zoos call "management euthanasia", which is mercy-killing those animals who are in interminable pain or mortally ill. These animals are healthy beings who do not have to be killed!
2014 March 27, Marc Bekoff, “Two Healthy Lions, and Their Cubs, "Zoothanized" … Why? (Op-Ed)”, in Live Science, archived from the original on October 9, 2024:Last month, administrators at the Copenhagen zoo decided it was perfectly okay to kill a healthy young male giraffe named Marius. Killing Marius was not euthanasia, mercy killing, but rather "zoothanasia," killing done in a zoo because an animal is deemed to be a disposable object.
