Expressive,Creative, and Pure: Marius

This is more or less a simple person venting about the extremes and sickness of torture and a disgrace to humanity in which some people do and disgusting situations they create and carry on forth with. This is all based upon one individual’s opinion, and in this case this in my rant about how I feel directed towards an 18 month old giraffe named Marius.

Marius was a large animal, with a big heart. Marius was an 18 month old giraffe breed, and born a Denmark zoo, with the name of Copenhagen Zoo. They decided to keep this innocent giraffe for almost two years; they gave him a home, a life, and even a name, but later on proceeded with butchering this poor creature and preforming a show for all the guests at the zoo and feeding Marius to the carnivores at the zoo.

Why? Unfortunately the zoo that slaughtered Marius can’t keep their story straight and are continuously changing it and blaming in on a number of reasons. At one point in their pathetic story, the murdered Marius due to the fact he was “surplus” meaning he was too many, and they already had 7 giraffes. The question is, is they had enough giraffes why would they breed there giraffes in the first place? There second story was to prevent in breeding. They couldn’t give him to another zoo because it would risk chances of inbreeding, but if a zoo is exchanging animals, or even consisting of animals shouldn’t they all have documentations and history of their animals, therefore they should of gathered the knowledge in which where a suitable home would have been for Marius and were inbreeding wouldn’t have been a worry or concern. Finally there last reason as to why is because they couldn’t find a home for Marius. Funny… several zoo’s offered to take Marius and they were all harshly denied, and another interesting fact is that an individual offered $680,000 for this innocent creature and was also denied. In conclusion Marius has numerous opportunities to live his life, but because of the Copenhagen zoo guiding his decisions he wasn’t giving the chance to live.

A petition was signed with over 27,000 signatures in which the zoo refused to look at. Marius was also not put down humanly but instead shot in the head with a bolt gun for the reasoning of the zoo didn’t want to contaminate the meat with euthanizing him due to the fact they were going to feed Marius to the carnivores. A quote was also said that they weren’t going to waste all that meat.

` Marius had his brains shot out, and then was dissected and butchered up in front of families, parents and children, as a show and performance and then followed by being feed the lions, all because of what? Marius was perfectly healthy and had no issues what so ever and no reason to be put down. Health records prove Marius was healthy. Marius had opportunities to live and carry on and was strong enough to do so but because of one person with power his life got taken away.

Humanity isn’t right, and lost their guidelines of right and wrong. To begin with animals don’t belong in zoo’s or catches but the fact that they feel it’s alright to butcher an innocent giraffe for no reason isn’t right. They are sick people and don’t deserve the life there given. Society has been driven to a sick place, and in my opinion has lost any hope. One man with power was able to ignore thousands of people with a heart, and instead take away an animal’s life. These people are heart less, and sick and severely lacking some kind of brain chemical to make them intellectually stable, these are the kind of people who butcher people and proceed with cannibalism, but oh I forgot since it was done to a giraffe its okay. There’s no reasoning for this, and Marius didn’t deserve it;

Some people are to sick and twisted to help.
