interviewing the hunter a month ago or seeing this giraffe story, different countries have different rules. we saw the story in japan as well last week. lots of different cultures treat different animals in different ways. why shouldn t the danish frankly be able to treat giraffes the way they wish to if they believe it s the right way to treat them? i think you re raising a good point. i think we all here do object to the way that the danes have treated marius. but american zoos have their own problems with surplus animals. even though our breeding is much better controlled than they are in europe, there still is a leakage of animals from zoos into places where we don t want them to go. and there s no american zoo as far as i know that s willing to actually take lifetime responsibility for any animal thought breeds from cradle to grave. so there s a lot of issues here that cross cultural lines. and i think one thing we need to do is to get away from thinking, oh, these are the danes
would have said such a thing. the world s largest solar power plant launched today on the edge of california s mow hab desert. the technology amazing, 347,000 mirrors on a foot prnt three times the size of new york s central park. one of the companies that are involved with this, google, which happens to be facing criticisms over its eco friendly employee shuttle bus program, that program takes the equivalent of 4,000 cars off the road and this power plant, that number goes up to 72,000. and survival of the fittest or just bad luck? another zoo in denmark wants to breed its giraffes and the problem is that two they have are both male. so one, the zoo says, is not up to par to mate may get euthanized. but the giraffe currently being considered is named marius, which is also the name of the giraffe that was killed just days ago at another zoo to avoid
those tweets have all been deleted. the world s largest solar power plant launched today on the edge of california s mojave desert. the technology amazing, 347,000 mirrors on a footprint three times the size of new york s central park. one of the companies that are involved with this, google, which happens to be facing criticisms over its eco friendly employee shuttle bus program, that program takes the equivalent of 4,000 cars off the road and this power plant, that number goes up to 72,000. and survival of the fittest or just bad luck? another zoo in denmark wants to breed its giraffes and the problem is that two they have are both male. so one, the zoo says, is not up to par to mate may get euthanized. but the giraffe currently being considered is named marius, which is also the name of the giraffe that was killed just days ago at another zoo to avoid inbreeding. it s not a coincidence. they re actually brothers.
lets me bring in dr. jameson. professor of environmental studies and philosophy. it s a debate whether i was interviewing the hunter a month ago or seeing this giraffe story, different countries have different rules. we saw the story in japan as well last week. lots of different cultures treat different animals in different ways. why shouldn t the danish frankly be able to treat giraffes the way they wish to if they believe it s the right way to treat them? i think you re raising a good point. i think we all here do object to the way that the danes have treated marius. but american zoos have their own problems with surplus animals. even though our breeding is much better controlled than they are in europe, there still is a leakage of animals from zoos into places where we don t want them to go. and there s no american zoo as far as i know that s willing to actually take lifetime responsibility for any animal thought breeds from cradle to grave.
were named marius. a u.s. zoo may step in to help this giraffe. no question about it. many zoos that can help. we have a great partnership with the wild. we have 10,000 acres and i would encourage the organization eaza, the european association for zoos and aquariums to work together. it s all about planning. it s very important that we realize that the animals we have in our care, they are ambassadors. it s about how to protect them and conservation success. in order for us to work and it s about working throughout the united states and also all of our friends through the world. park can you talk to me about what happens when the zoo gets too many animals.
