In this two-part session, examine end-of-life care issues and considerations that go into the decision to euthanize zoo animals. First, learn about multimodal therapies that can provide relief from discomfort while preserving animals’ quality of life, and explore animal welfare tools that help caretakers and veterinarians assess when euthanasia is appropriate. Then, explore the ethics, politics, and considerations that impact how animal breeding and culling decisions are made.
