this body and soul houses that dang leaders and constructs for more than just buildings. he is the son of jewish holocaust survivors. how walkie that i was able to bill jeffers in berlin. his architecture is a celebration of democracy and peace. and architect of emotions. daniel starts december 25th on d. w. in february 2014, copenhagen soon decided it could no longer accommodate registry. number 44345, marius. his jeans were too similar to those of other mill traps already in the

breeding program. the young animal was healthy, but he was put down despite the protest that came from around the world, shot dead modules, people lug raps, murderer germans is also have what they call surplus animals. some are called and it's likely that will happen there. asi as with the 2 concern finish, this is the future we're looking at. you just have to accept that in nature, life and death go hand in hand, i talk to somebody. and how will this affect the public image of sous ah let these lions and properties are fed 6 times a week to day they'll be serv. goats from the paintings in reading director azalea habit will be attending the cold slaughter destruction of the

inside on i desired which animals get to live on. so it's only right that i sometimes do the job to even if it's not pleasant. but, but i put the african pygmy goats on their list of animals to transfer to other zoos. but no other zoom needs them. at almost 4 months old, the young males have to be separated from the herd. otherwise they might soon try to mate with their mothers. we were given permission to film something that most sues are reluctant to show animals, not just being born in captivity, but sometimes also being killed, even though they're in good health. with is not auto, so that is due also has predator animals. of course, if we don't use these animals to feed them, we'd have to order sides of beef from somewhere and it's unlikely that those cows were treated humanely. so this is the way to go on this big mac mit us.

veterinarians thus get higher, will be killing the goats and the familiar surroundings of their own pen. the vault gun is a device also used to stand cows and sheep before their slaughtered for human consumption . oh, my god, the angle on the sky, ok. the gun is used to stun the animal by firing a metal bolt into its brain. the staff then cuts its throat and the kid leads to death. bulletin so typically calls young goats from the petting zoo once or twice a year. which runs on guzman force. you're glad once it's over, because of course, it's not something we enjoy deciding which animals to slaughter as a moral dilemma. zoom, visitors tend to prefer that the animals but to others are ones that also end up on our plates. but as zebra, there you have back and so director ana loveland want the public to question their

gut feeling was susan. she's not there. typical is she's not in the big enclosure cause an a la garza so she's got to be somewhere else. or maybe in the stable on her own we downsizing as, as she's been ejected from the heard, had all the flu happen to know. in recent weeks, the mail zebra has been bullying a female called charlotte to look over that. if we take a look from the side, yes, there she is. alissa alissa just because the male zebra has been kicking and biting the female charlotte has to be moved. is sylvia have, i can't find her a new home. the zebra might also end up as lying feed. so far, this hasn't become a common practice and other german zoos. steve, i nigger is on here, so some of my colleagues are afraid of scaring off visitors. dimension. there's this idea of zoos as a kind of cuddly, perfect little world, like in a disney movie where everyone's happy. i like watching

a world where there are only birds, but there is no debt. no, sure, don't stab until china is global with us. but we need to talk about reality instead of creating this idealized and unrealistic world for people just so they feel happy as is proficient the director would like to see more realistic conditions where visitors get to understand nature's cycles of life and death. but is that likely to happen to protect the sensibility of the public most sous? because they're predators anonymous, meet with no head or fur and chopped up into small pieces. i see i have bag is available to talk to visitors who are present on days when called animals are fed to predators walking home. oh

mm hm. how long have they been dead? i thought since about quarter of 9 this morning. 1349 and, and i, yeah, i look on switch and isn't long there from our padding do yet so. and until to day they've had a really lovely life. fair enough. what his name was on more devices. oh would. she knows where i sausages come from and yet is good and that's what lines eat. oh, close us. part of nature right now, but not everyone can cope sharleen other to toe and her god. son. noah made a quick exit from the lions feeding time. them good max is in social key. it could be as moved up. you seemed pretty affected by what you saw hind. you were shocked. ranked funding. bazooka. xena listed? yes. yes or no? no. it was pretty scared. right, the last one and this is a bit frightening. does the whole animals being fed to others tiers on guns and you

see the blood till monday just blew? would know. i love mr. flush lions need to eat meat meaning animals. yelton's are normally we feed our carnivores meet, we get from a slaughter house just like you get your steak from a butcher to mitigate on get and then since there's no connection to the animal, it doesn't upset you. it's the civic from t at this does upset us. it upsets us to meet us, put once, not be, but we feel we need to show a part of the cycle of nature isn't busy now due to something it's heigenbeck wednesday, not that nature. it's horrible, but we enjoy the taste of it. the smell in the lions due to brush i'm oh. when sister saw this dish us 1st, we're willing to risk upsetting a visitor or 2 because it's important. ah, most people learn from what they've seen and accepted as part of nature, and thus it would be unnatural to keep it hidden foolish as we have a. we're not really a sophistic last minus ish which animals are called answers. and why? over the years, zeus have learned how to provide optimal care for animals and captivity,

and more and more animals born and captivity are surviving and reaching a ripe old age. that means that zeus are running out of space. further south and germany, the daily routine and nerve boxes, corolla sanctuary begins with a contraceptive breakfast, original gun from our it's the regular pill for women were we inserted into a chunk of banana and the ape eat, said probably amelia zookeeper. homeowners who had ministers the pill in the morning before the gorillas had outside their enclosure at the same time every day . and we will come here, i be, will not you have 21 days on the pill followed by a week without just like with humans swimmer. good catalino. you'll both be going out. in the 2nd norma has welcomed the birth of 2 baby girl as in the last 3 years, the male gorilla thomas have now passed on his jeans to enough offspring. that's

why the contraceptives have been introduced these days. a primate born in captivity is no longer headline news if lasha is good line truly, just in that asked the oven with one baby that demands in humble facebook and m t. r. coggan baked leslie obeyed. heavily kat most young animals used to be caught in the wild. blue birds were so rare that only humans were entrusted with carrying for them. no, i've been hi, ghoulish base enough to help with that in and be able to any baby nick, good old movies. and this was well intended, but had unintended side effects. young animals reared by humans often lost many of their natural parental instincts. no max to director dag anchor remembers the old days as a boy in the 1970s. he enjoyed being a playmate for the young apes and the clearfield zoo where his father was the

director. today doug anchor is also vice president of the germans new association. he's worried about how animals like has to infant, male gorillas, will be ferrying, and 15 or 20 years. each group of females needs only one mature male for breeding. so these infant males aren't needed for the breeding program, doesn't ruins all for arden on the india. these are issues that can be emotionally overwhelming for people who work on the animal submitted g on good. none of us would be able to just say fine, we'll put him down to morrow. as it is the cylinders loosely off on. so we have to arrive at a solution that we're able to tolerate and live with your mom. this is all foolish on releasing them into the wild as currently not an option. a shrinking natural habitat means that guerrillas are at risk of extinction. when was askance holly columns, after taking it to the extreme, you could say we're going to start breeding them because the growing number of all

the animals pushes the population pyramid up on their steel, it becomes leaf shaped, and eventually you have 0 at the stem on that meaning no new offspring or long lot, so the species is effectively extinct long before the last animal has died. and it's illusory to just say we have so many animals here. don't know if they're unable to reproduce them. the species is dead or flexible, spacious honesty are thought that anchor sees his zeal as a kind of sacred art preserving species that are dying out to the wild. but an art has a limited number of animals on board and can only stay afloat if it produces future generations. irony as one of only 35 female asian lions still registered as potential reading stuck in european says you're in, she tends to hide away when we arrive, young. i wonder she sees the bad as does he go to school, let them call it i. i said she's marching us circle

up until august 2021. the lion's compound also included a mail called so bali when he grew older and became sterile, the director raised the possibility of having him put down and replaced with another male. so bally was one of the serious biggest attractions, however, and the idea of him being killed provoked a backlash from both the public and the media. mickleson covey, lutheran olden shall to bally trying to bother you. i don't problem. we did not. whoops, club this needs to least each in flips inside. it was does to you today? irony is now alone. so barley has been euthanized because he was sacon and pain says doug, anchor does, and part of bosch would offer and ready to let a prime example of the dilemmas you can face with conservation measures involving a highly endangered species. besides those values on that, we have the job of preserving and nurturing a healthy population elsewhere. doff, which means looking extremely closely at using the potential when i tear. i know

football if there are only 35 fertile female lions available, and one of them is paired with an infertile male need wish. and when we have to vacate that spot of belief. good. so we were really happy that he died on his big wandered on ohio for those locust oldness. that's really yes. in the kind of zoo the dog ankle would like to see the lifespan of an individual animal come 2nd to the survival of a species. german animal welfare laws have strict standards for calling a healthy animal, killing an animal in order to eat, it meets that standard. and so does killing ones who animal to feed it to others. an animal no longer meeting the needs of a breeding program does not meet the legal standard for calling. germany's association of zoo operators is advocating for those laws to be changed. lucille industry and few few that there are a lot of situations today where there is no good solution for us for our conscience,

the fin window. but we need solutions that make sense in the long term, or even if they can sometimes cause us a lot of pain. hazel's under seat on said was there for litzy does. so visitors will also have to stomach that dusk. every one will or we have fewer species. there is one country where the set of envisaged by dog anchor is already a reality. denmark in 2014 copenhagen, zeus euthanized marius, the draft because his jeans were already well represented in breeding programs. nosy had a heart that could accommodate him. veterinarian, mad bateson had been present at mario's his birthday and was now the man who pulled the trigger when he was 2 years old. oh yes, i will have one of me to go to school young gratis, and also publicly dissected the animal and front of visitors. i think with a boy there about 8 years on people still regularly ask him about marius.

so this is our commissary, where we prepare the food for the animals and, and actually mario's was dissected right here. and um, and then later on, fed to our lives looks little bit different today, unless unlike this kind of public anatomy class is not unusual in denmark, all the people who came to watch 1st of all, paid the entrance fee and then secondly decided to go behind the scenes to watch this, so nobody were inadvertently subjected to this, they chose to be here and $10.00, though. lot of children here. and in fact, the children were the ones asking the best questions. matt spat, awesome. as now, the zoos director the zeal now has 2 new giraffe cats, mary's, his half sister, and a young boy. it's unclear whether the young bull will be needed in the breeding

program. the same situation that marius found himself in this constant dynamic so, so you never know right from the beginning. but after a while it became, it became clear and, and that at the time that he was eventually shot, it was because he was now fighting with father. just like was seen the rhine, us behind me here in his time to move in with many species. there's only room for one, mature male in a group. this young rhino will soon be moved to another suit where he'll be given his own. heard. that option wasn't available for marius, so he was called and fed to the soup lions. a few months later the lions were also euthanized. what might sound like? poor planning is actually part of a strategy. the lions and copenhagen live and upright together with their young men is, isn't germany also used contraceptives to limit the number of surplus animals. but

there are potential side effects including neutral tumors and permanent and fertility. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. the lions here only produce offspring every 2 or 3 years just like in nature. and that's only possible because animals are cold i think that basically quality of life is more important than quantity of life. and an animal doesn't plan ahead a line doesn't know how long his life is going to be, but it does know how the life feels. and i think a lion pride is much more functional and much more natural if they have youngsters . these young lions are scheduled for transfer to another zoo. but around half of the males born here, end up being put down when they're about to the agent, which in the wild they would be expelled from their pride. that context something the copenhagen so explains teds visitors. i don't think danes are any,

any harder or tougher than the germans. and i think they're more hunters in germany of percentage wise. so no, i think this is, this is a p r a question. this is a something, and of course the legislation that comes into it but, but this is something that we need to consider very carefully. why do we need, what do we need to do and then and then do what is right. but who decides what is right, this calling worms and saxon mice? what about animals that humans, he too, or other similar animals? what about animals that would be shot by hunters when humans destroy their natural habitat? what guidelines should we follow? and why? ah, it's a debate that is welcome to your info, pata, the zoos director is area havoc as looking for the female zebra that has been attacked and driven out of the herd by the mail and needs

a new home and others who has now said it might take charlotte, but right now, it's too hot to transfer her. miss lamar will have to find an alternative solution driving over night falls. it would be great for her to find a group where she'll be okay from missouri to list. now, that's the idea. so sometimes exchange animals in situations like this or to prevent and breeding. finding a taker for a female tends to be easier than with males. okay, an elephant cow tica is pregnant. yeah, those good veterinarians as get higher as performing an ultrasound. but they will only find out the elephant baby's sex when it's born. i be here and stand

a female would be good news for the breeding registry. the number of elephants born ensues isn't high enough to preserve the species of it looks good. but the number of balls is already close to the maximum of 8 rather than i'm looking at the head on the trunk. either. the reading registry provides su, director on the loved ones with a running record of all $190.00 african elephants. captain sue's across europe, the gender balance among the older 2 elephants is similar to what seen in nature. the females far number the males. that's because many were born in the wild at a time when zeus sees the chance to acquire females. while that was still permitted among elephants born in captivity, however, the gender balance is now equal. and that's a problem that's because in the wild elephants live in matriarchal herds in which the females spend their entire lives together,

males eventually leave their group. many of them die at a young age chica had her last offspring a girl. 2 years ago. the entire herd supported her during the bank, elephants, how strong family bonds and are extremely social animals. they enjoy playing with the young halves in the heard a complete halter breeding programs in order to prevent excess males could destroy their social structures. so those are looking for compromised solutions and valuables. the good one idea is to extend the intervals between birds, but ultimately we're just extending the process where we at some point have to take action. but elephants live to the age of 4050 or 60 years old to ashad. in recent

years, years have been establishing groups of young elephant bulls to take in surplus males. those areas of africa were elephants can still live in safety from poachers have no room for additional males. it's only a matter of time until zeus run out of capacity. and what happens then? no legs to director dad anchor is looking for a solution for his 2 and think a relas, which are now registered as surplus animals. that quest has brought him to the dutch city of calcutta, along with the silver backs and females and gaia. so there are 2 guerrillas that wouldn't exist in the wild, castrated males gases from there it is pretty bizarre. was in the seeing them grow to the size of a regular mail while staying extremely then lime was. and that's not feminine either because adult females actually get rather fat. so this is

a quite unique phenotypic now does i in the field trip? did i did the males were cast, it had said that their father wouldn't attack them and they could remain in the group. monitor doug anchor. it's meeting with patrick fund via the biologist, as a senior advisor to the wildlife conservation group set up by pioneering primatologist. jane goddard visit was breeding director amy pence also join. so he and his team have been conducting an experiment. they're integrating a new silver back into the group of castrated adult males. that was the biggest worry him he was or because we're with the introduction of the new silverback. i because we were afraid because they're the same age and maybe years competition. it was nothing else than a female, really, for the silver back are which the new silver back doesn't see the cast rain at males as rivals. the procedure was carried out before they'd reach puberty, which explains their abnormal development. looks like chrome it. oh,

yeah. really? to provide a healthy, social group or surplus males, others, those are likely to begin castrating younger ls in a perfect world. but like fun van would prefer that no primates live in captivity, but the prospects for apes, no wild aren't rosy. ether. moving them from bloom is so says in fields, if the problem is that there will be no guerrillas left in 40 or 50 years time and on paper that they do still exist, but in populations that are no longer sustainable since she bladder laws that looks like the reserve populations and zoos which still have a healthy balance will be crucial for any attempt to preserve apes and the while, while we are on the loan for the socum. we think at us the source, zoos really do have a responsibility to plan ahead for what to do with the animals in the future. thus mark, an artificial mortality is an absolute no go on that something i would never support

. it really does me. iceland sits foolish to lord, i'm afraid we'll reach the point where we have to say, do our ethical standards apply to the species or the individual animal, and how do we reconcile that with reality rebate us through them. unlike this silver back, the young gorilla males and learn back will never had a group of females. but castrating them means they will be able to grow old in the crew, fell, torn into what is the tradition compo, missed, of course, it's a compromise approach. and our overall conservation concepts will have to incorporate a lot of compromises with natural conditions, social skills. so those little jubal altov zeus has spent years trying to provide animals in captivity with a more natural environment. now so many species have become fertile enough. that sues have to use castration or contraception, or they have to take a previously unthinkable step, making sure that the mortality rate and zeus is similar to the wild boyfriend for

battle. the ostracized female zebra will be spared the fate of being fed to the lions. charlotte has grown to be picked up to day. the plan is to assure entered the trailer box as soon as the connecting door opened its missing was mute. uncle mister hall, we make our exit and leave her alone. was he daniel willis? garden? good. yes. so you go into the box, it's if need be, that won't happen. yeah, it'd be the absolute worst case scenario. ross, case river dasa, wasted me dusty and remember she might come back at you with a real pharmacy. so put your whole body behind and also non material proper for, for promise. and then it's time will see anything. so you have ex jarvis to shut the door as soon as the z press inside the trailer. ah,

charlotte has a 6 hour drive ahead of her to her new home and bavaria and didn't fight. it's not for me. so i'm not in this case. it's a nicer outcome than feeding her to other animals because i know she still got most of her life ahead of her lance lindsay, what, she'll have offspring and will be able to raise her own young county that wasn't possible here because she still young in the stallion threw her out of the herd in hot and before that she hadn't reached full sexual maturity of high school. so that life is now beginning for her, which is great off machine. as a homeless mom long enough is on t v a have back wants to give her animals a happy life and captivity,

and the company of their own kind. that's why she and annella can see calling healthy individuals as a price worth paying. even though it's painful, especially when it comes to certain species, flight official fluid us is miss. maybe i'm just hoping that i'll be retired before it comes to that. uh huh. but sadly, i know the, i believe that it's the only option for sustainably managing endangered. and small populations trying to pull out sworn in british nar hodges miniature, and so can buy. it will allow us to ensure reproduction and other animal welfare priorities this week. that's why it's important for us to talk about it and for people to give some thought to the issue. it's deborah knocking. for many visitors sous have been an idealized world, a place of refuge. how will they respond if su operators are forced to confront harsh realities? with painful solutions ah

ah ah, the 77 percent this week, so we'll be focusing on parenthood and the unique set of challenges that young people are facing as late sly and res. then next, in a recent, including a high maternal mortality rate in some african countries and the burden of stereotypes, mothers deal with the 77 percent and 30 mast on d, w. europe's plastic weights. recycling in disposing of it is a global business, worth billions, riddled with money laundering and corruption,

profits from it. who suffers from it. and where does all the plastic waist actually end up global 3090 minutes on d. w. debriefs tina a saxophone operator. correct her master's thesis on the potato, raring to read a, not a turn on. well, it gets more ridiculous from their d. w literature list. good german monks street. this is dw news, and these are our top stories. argentina's world cup winning football team has abandoned. it's open top bus parade. through bonus iris, the players began the journey showing off their trophy to ecstatic fans.
