Faced with broken supply chains and the lack of revenue coming due to the coronavirus pandemic, one zoo is considering taking drastic measures, turning zoo residents into food.
The longer that this coronavirus lockdown continues, the closer that the Neumünster Zoo in northern Germany is to killing some of their own animals in order to feed other animals housed at the zoo.
The Neumünster Zoo, home to more than 700 animals and more than 100 species, has drafted an emergency plan listing which animals would be euthanized to cut costs, and in what order, zoo director Verena Kaspari told German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA).
In is unclear which of the animals would be first to go, but a 12-foot-tall polar bear named Vitus, would be last on the list.
