Just to reiterate MTF’s point.
Did you know that animals die in a zoo everyday? I didn’t think about this until I started volunteering at a zoo. Each day there would be an emergency. It was rare to have a normal day where all you did was feed the animals and clean the cages.
If you have a couple thousand animals, you are going to have a medical issue or an animal die of old age daily. It’s just a law of numbers.
Can you imagine if your local zoo reported the death of each animal? It would look like that zoo is careless and can’t keep animals alive at all.
This is very true, I used to operate a Cattle feedlot and 1% deathloss was very good. So a 100000 head feedlot operation that is turning their inventory twice a year will have 6 a day dead.
