(Jorge is a Jaguar)

Jorge was shot to death at the Denver Zoo, February 24, 2007. This was because of the failure of how to act when around Jaguars. A zoo worker who made a mistake was attacked by Jorge. The zoo workers decided to deem the Jaguar's life forfeit and murdered it, rather than using Non-Lethal ordinance. Because of the ignorance and ultimately the lack of regard for Jorge's life, both the worker and Jorge are dead. The sad tragedy is the fact that because of human superiority and ignorance reigns much akin to blaming the Pit Bulls for deaths rather than the humans that were involved. In such cases the Pit Bulls are always murdered. It is sad for Jorge, who found not protection in the Zoo, but death by those who were supposed to it provide for him.

Once again human ignorance and fear won out as Jorge is dead and he will not get a grave, nor proper respect. The Zoo thanks for support, but what about for Jorge who was truly the victim? Zoos should be responsible for knowing about animals, the animal's safety, and in the end, horrible mistakes, the lack of use of Non-Lethal Ordiance have resulted in two deaths. Go to Zoo's which truly show responsibility, not the Denver Zoo.
