Matt 160 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 They fed it to the other animals... as I just said on Twitter; gives a whole new meaning to 'best end of neck' doesn't it? It seems that Longleat are in trouble today as well. They recently shot 6 aggressive lions. Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 160 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 How must them kids feel watching while thay chop it up and feed it to the lions A dose of reality for those kids, who, I'm sure, probably thought it was all very interesting. Where do kids think you get Lion Food? Do they think there are extra large cans of Kity Cat in the shops? Around here, all the local horses etc go to Longleat for Lion Feed.

Tiercel 6,986 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Personally I see nothing wrong with what the zoo has done. As I have told many people when flying my hawk. "They dont eat beans on toast" The animal had to be put down so why waste it? TC 11 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if I'd label anyone who's ever done any big game hunting a 'sick twat' either. While I'm as disgusted as the next man about the 'canned hunting' we've all seen, that doesn't mean that all big game hunting is the same. Each to his or her own. I don't like judging others based on what the newspapers say. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like judging others based on what the newspapers say. aint got a problem with big game hunting pal as i no nothing about it, but in my opinion i shoot to clear rabbits from a horse field and what i do shoot gets eaten by either me the landowner or the lovely old couple nextdoor but to shoot a lion because it was aggressive in captivity what do they expect to use caesar milan technique shhhh and it expect to bow down??? just like to hear difference of opinions and verdicts Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Apparently, the killed the giraffe 'to avoid in-breeding'. Surely the best way to avoid that would be not to breed them in the first place..........??? 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 160 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Longleat isn't a zoo; it's a safari park. The lions are free to breed as they see fit within their enclosure. Over the last few years their numbers have got much higher, and that has led to some friction within their social structure and a lot of fighting. From what I can gather about the Giraffe, it is too closely related to the other captive ones in Europe and they couldn't allow it to breed. As they are social animals you can't just keep one on it's own for thirty years to stop it from shagging and if you castrated it the other males would've kicked the crap out of it. Some folks are suggesting that it shouldn't have been bred at all, but I suppose that if it had been female it may have been a different breeding prospect. Link to post Share on other sites
