Why did you euthanize Kali, the grey wolf?

According to your representative Larissa Mark, you killed her to make room for a pack of young wolves that you wanted to put on display, and were worried that Kali would not integrate well. You euthanized her for "social" reasons. Huh?

Okay. Then why not transfer her? There must have been other options. You could have sent her to a sanctuary, you could have sent her somewhere where she could live her final days in peace. She was a healthy wolf, and you killed her because you didn't want to put forth the effort/money/time in placing her somewhere else. Instead, you chose the quickest, cheapest option - euthanasia.

You reaped the benefits that Kali provided you - she was voted as Canada's greatest animal species by the public. You declared her as your winner. You used her popularity to attract more visitors. And when she could no longer provide for you, you killed her to make room for a new pack of wolves instead of finding her another option.

This zoo has a history of prioritizing visitor experience over animal welfare. Look it up - in 2016, an otter died after getting tangled up in a pair of pants given to him as an 'enrichment item'. Seven penguins drowned despite being aquatic animals. 41 stingrays died from lack of oxygen in their tank. A capybara was crushed by a hydraulic door.

Don't go here. RIP Kali.
