olympic jaguar

As the Olympic jaguar is shot, how many more animals have to die for our entertainment?

On Monday in the town of Manaus, Brazil, a dejected-looking jaguar named Juma sat with a heavy chain around her neck, flanked by armed soldiers and reportedly sedated, next to a man posing for photos with the Olympic torch in advance of the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

After the ceremony, this jaguar acted on her natural instinct to flee from fire, panicked and attacked a soldier – and was shot dead by another soldier for acting exactly as any animal would.
