Zoo fined for KILLING cubs!
Extracted from BigCat Rescue:
Im stunned! Especially the last sentence. I thought Zoos went under the guise that they were for conversation and education purposes in this day and age. Well it looks like this German Zoo has shot that arguement to pieces.

Germany June 17, 2010: The zoo director and three of the staff at the Magdeburg Zoo were convicted of cruelty to animals for killing three tiger cubs who were the result of cross breeding tigers at the zoo. The zoo had bred a Siberian tiger to a Sumatran tiger. All of the tigers in the U.S. that are referred to as Bengal tigers are actually hybrids of Bengal and Siberian tigers as the result of the white tiger craze when Bengal tigers were inbred to the point of non existence in America. A fine of 8,000 euros was suspended upon the condition that the zoo not kill cubs as the result of their own improper breeding plans. The Magdeburg zoo case drew attention to the common practice of zoos breeding and killing animals to keep youngsters on exhibit.

Shocking and disgusting
"A fine of 8,000 euros was suspended upon the condition that the zoo not kill cubs as the result of their own improper breeding plans" - should have been an awful lot more to ensure they do not do this again
