Hamburg zoo animals put to use after the war
Can we get some rare pictures or documents ITT?
“The elephants gave spine-chilling screams. Their house was still standing but an explosive bomb of terrific force had landed behind it, lifted the dome of the house, turned it round, and put it back on again... The baby cow elephant was lying in the moat on her back with her legs helplessly reaching up toward the sky, suffering severe stomach injuries unable to move. The hippopotamuses were drowned when debris pinned them to the bottom of their water basin. In the ape house, a gibbon reached out to the trainer, only bloody stumps left of its arms. Nearly forty rhesus monkeys escaped to the trees but were dead by the next day from drinking water polluted by the incendiary chemicals. The next day, a U.S. aircraft pilot flew in low, firing at anything he could see was still alive... In this way, our last giraffe met her death. Many stags and others animals which we had saved became victims of this hero.”
Fun fact, there were elephant species native to North Africa and the Middle East but bronze age humans drove them to extinction.

Humans didn't realize they could actually have an impact on the world until relatively recently. It never occurred to humans that if enough people hunt an animal for long enough there won't be any animal left. Now we understand just how powerful we really are.

Our expanding niche(s) consumed theirs
and it was delicious
On a more positive note, we also made the European lion extinct. Fuck those guys. I hope Brown Bears go soon as well.
