Nuremberg Tiergarten Zoo plans to kill healthy Guinea Baboons

[Catherine]

Protesters chained themselves to the Baboon cages because the zoo plans to kill healthy baboons.
They claim that there is an overcrowding problem. Up until now killing healthy primates has not been allowed. This crosses a line that allows for a lot of other abuses.

The zoo should not have let the baboons breed if they did not have room for them. It was their responsibility to know how many animals they could provide for.

Letting them kill healthy animals is unacceptable. In particular letting them kill healthy primates is totally wrong. We can never find that an acceptable action.
Whatever they do they need to find or provide suitable accommodation for the baboons. I am glad the protestors have brought this to our attention.
