How does a zoo deal with euthanasia with surplus animals? Management Euthanasia is controversial. I was able to do it in Sacramento, particularly with Hoofstock. You know, hoofstock are like cows, we eat cows. It was a little easier. I mean the keepers, maybe they didn’t like it but they went along with it. You’re not gonna euthanize an extra gorilla or an extra elephant. Probably don’t need to ’cause there’s probably room for ’em anyway. But I, I think of it in a way, when you talk about it mostly with ho stock if you have it, because animals, most hoofed animals live in herds with one male and so many females. So it makes sense. Makes absolutely scientific sense.
