----quote----- European Association of Zoos and Aquaria spokesman David Williams-Mitchell told CNN that across the European zoos governed by the body, about 3,000 to 5,000 animals are killed each year under programs to manage zoo populations. This includes everything from tadpoles and insects up to charismatic megafauna like giraffes and lions, he said, adding that it represents only 0.06% of the zoos overall animal population. “Exact figures are hard to come by, but a few hundred of those killed by the zoos each year would be large animals,” he said. ---quote end------ Ugh.
