Zoos are incredible but problem stays in EAZA program which orders any member zoos and aquariums to kill "unnecessary" animals in terms of rare valuable gene couple mating and making space and budget available to make more rare genes".
Please read EAZA policy and EAZA program which enforces ANY member zoos to kill animals EAZA orders to kill based on EAZA program.

EZEA program obliges ANY, including UK zoos, zoos and aquariums to kill , euthanize, animals anytime when EAZA, European Association of Zoos and Aquariums, orders any member zoos and aquariums to do so in terms of necessity of "prioritizing space and budgets for rare valuable animal genes" for" sustainable zoo managements" whenever EAZA finds "best time to mate rare valuable gene couples and necessity to kill animals unnecessary for making rare valuable genes"!
WWF must officially commit and stop EAZA program.
Any American zoo, or Japanese zoo, are not members of EAZA have any responsibility to kill own zoo animals for making space and budget to mate and create rare valuable genes. No. But Japanese zoos are running its business with all animals no matter how they are ill old or handicapped. So "for sustainable zoo business" is just a lie of justification to kill for money via rare genes, I assume. Zoo is not business but zoo is a public service for ppl and animal good welfare.
I wrote the above in my account of Facebook on March 27, 2014 in response to the sad news of Marius the Giraff was killed by Copenharden Zoo just because of Europe Assiciation Zoos and Aqueriuns EAZA's program which obliges any member zoos and Aqueriuns to kill in terms of space and budget "efficient" to create "rare valuable genes" and according to the rule of EAZA program the Giraff was "unnecessary" as genes to create or keep "rare valuable" genes for zoo "business". And after Marius, Lions were also kled in the same zoo subject to request due to the same rule of EAZA program . _____________
