Due to overcrowding at the zoo, other animals such as crowned lemurs, lemurs and gorillas could also be culled in the near future
A German zoo embroiled in a scandal over killing healthy baboons due to a lack of space has said other animals could be next.
Dag Encke, the director of Nuremberg Zoo in southern Germany, told the local Nürnberger Zeitung and Nürnberger Nachrichten newspapers that crowned lemurs, lemurs and gorillas could also be culled in the near future – although killing a gorilla has not yet been seriously considered, he said.
“We would not be able to do that emotionally – even if it is unprofessional and inconsistent,” he said in comments published by the newspapers on Friday.
