A giraffe named Marius lived in the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark. Marius was raised as a baby in that zoo. But when he became an adult, he was killed because the zoo did not think he was worth keeping anymore. What do you think of when you think of zoos? Nice habitats and spacious enclosures? A vacation for the creatures? Well, many animals who live in zoos never return to their wild homes. Zoos are violent, directly and indirectly. They play a predatory role in animals' lives for three main reasons: zoos breed animals inhumanely, they do not achieve their claims of rehabilitation and they provide only scarce resources for the animals in their care.
One compelling reason why zoos should be banned is that zoos source their animals inhumanely. Most zoo animals are bred with ancestry that traces back to a wild animal. All of the animals have been raised without a glimpse of their wild home. When zoos have too many animals, the "extra" animals are simply killed. This happened in 2014 at the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark. That year, a giraffe named Marius was shot despite the public's outcry, because the zoo didn't think his genes were useful. The Copenhagen zoo had other male giraffes. Also, baby animals attract more visitors. Killing an adult animal opens up space and resources to bring in a younger animal that could draw bigger crowds and more money. The real reason Marius was killed was that profits went down as he grew up.

What is the author’s attitude toward the actions of the Copenhagen Zoo? How do you know?

Are both authors critical of the giraffe’s killing? How do you know?

Would both authors agree that zoos should be banned?​

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
