Apology For The Copenhagen Zoo's Killing Of Marius, The Baby Giraffe

By Mary Hamer

14 February, 2014
Countercurrents.org

* APOLOGY: I Mary Hamer apologize to the World community, to the children & to the animals of the planet Earth for the Copenhagen Zoo's killing of the healthy baby giraffe Marius on Sunday February 9 th , 2014 .

*MARIUS' DEATH: Marius who was “Unsuitable for breeding was shot (in the head), dissected in public and then fed to lions -- despite offers of a new home.” (1)

*VETERINARIAN Confesses to the PREMEDITATED KILLING of MARIUS: “The zoo Veterinarian, said the giraffe was coaxed into a yard and over to a zookeeper, who held out rye bread – a food the giraffe was especially fond of, according to the video footage, which was distributed by Reuters TV. ‘I stood behind with a rifle, and when (Marius) put his head forward and ate the rye bread, then I shot him through the brain,' he said. ‘It sounds violent, but it means that Marius had no idea of what was coming. He got his bread, then he died.'” (2)

* CHILDREN & The VICIOUS CIRCLE of LIFE : Copenhagen “Zoo spokesman Tobias Stenbaek Bro was less than sentimental when defending the zoo's decision to show children the vicious circle of life, even when it includes the dismembering of giraffes with human names. ‘I'm actually proud because I think we have given children a huge understanding of the anatomy of a giraffe that they wouldn't have had from watching a giraffe in a photo.'” (3)

*The COPENHAGEN ZOO'S SILENCE : “Yorkshire Wildlife Park (YWP) was among several zoos that offered to rehouse Marius – a private individual apparently also offered to buy him for €50,000 (£41,000) – but received no response.” “Copenhagen zoo's silence was more surprising because Yorkshire's head of hoofed animals is Danish, and the YWP has already taken a young male giraffe from the Danish zoo.” (4)

*COMMENTS:

A. The HOMO SAPIEN KILL ETHIC & SUBTERFUGE : Homo Sapiens like to kill for spectacle & entertainment. But, we are ashamed to admit that to kill an innocent young giraffe is perverted, morbid & cruel. We are embarrassed to admit that to publicly dissect a baby giraffe in front of children is violent, sadistic & sick. So we cope with Subterfuge (5), deceit & pretense.  We are cavemen in business suits.  We cope by hiding behind rationalizations, excuses & lies such as: “Let's teach the children that killing is a normal & exciting part of the life cycle.” The truth is that the human race likes to kill; We kill in war; We kill for food; We kill for science; We kill because of our anger; We kill for aphrodisiacs; We kill for fur coats; We kill for sport & fun. *Question: Rather than teaching children to kill, dissect & feed to the lions innocent baby giraffes -- Why don't we teach children to Love, protect & honor Humans, animals & the planet Earth?

B. “ MARIUS Had NO IDEA WHAT was COMING ”: Human beings like to make surprise attacks on the innocent & to kill them. We take pride in our secret, suspicious, surreptitious & sneaky ways with Humans, animals & the planet Earth. Rather than being sneaky -- Why can't the human race be Honest, gentle & peacefully co-exist with other beings? Why must Homo Sapiens Dominate, desecrate (6) & assassinate with such pride?   We are an insincere & scheming species.

* Res Ipsa Loquitur . The facts regarding the Copenhagen Zoo's killing of the baby giraffe Marius -- speak for themselves.

Thank you. Respectfully, Mary Hamer MD. Florida , a Death Penalty state.
