A flamingo was beaten to death and another seriously injured by three young boys who snuck into the birds’ enclosure at a Czech zoo. Sadly, these incidents are only too common, with “at least 33 deaths at zoos in the U.S. since 1990: 15 at zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and 18 at unaccredited zoos.”
