Wellington Zoo euthanised four Baboons on Saturday the 23rd of February. The baboons were said to be acting agressively towards one another and the zoo responded in a way that they believed was humane. In response, Speak Up for Animals New Zealand is calling for a boycott, saying the deaths were needless as they could have been placed in a sanctuary that aids in rehabilitation of baboons. Sonja Burmudez from Speak Up for Animals New Zealand, spoke to Laura Kvigstad on the matter.
