We choose to house wild animals in Zoos to both educate the public and to protect particular species. We do that with the knowledge that caring for such animals carries real dangers for keepers involved. When something tragic occurs as in the recent tragic death at hamilton Zoo, this is not a reason to kill the animal concerned. Certainly the circumstances that led to this tragedy must be investigated to prevent future such events. However the animal is not to blame and should NOT be euthanised . All sympathies however must be shown to the deceased keeper and her family in their loss as well as for the staff at the zoo who will no doubt still be in shock.
