Jaguar shot dead during Olympic ceremony after escaping handlers

Jaguar shot dead during Olympic ceremony after escaping handlers

The jaguar was trotted out during an Olympic torch event in Brazil, where the official team mascot is named Ginga, a smiling, yellow jaguar. But the appearance at a zoo attached to a Manaus military compound did not end well for the jaguar: A soldier shot the animal after it escaped from its handlers, according to a Brazilian army statement.

    That's just terrible. A jaguar shouldn't be kept on a leash.

    Honestly, I don't have an issue with shooting a wild animal if it is a threat to humans. But if they hadn't tried to keep it in a cage and then trot it out for some idiot ceremony they wouldn't have gotten into such a situation.

    Let the jaguars stay in the jungle where they belong.
