Last week, me and Diego, here in the newsroom, made our first live on Facebook, so we went live to discuss an issue with you, our readers. As a theme, we have chosen to talk about zoos and the news of sacrificial animals in recent months.

Just in May this year, a couple of lions were killed in Chile, a gorilla was killed in the United States, and a tourist was killed trying to take a selfie with a walrus in China.

As if that were not enough, this week we are informed that one of the jaguars taken to participate in a ceremony with the Olympic torch in Manaus was killed.

Jaguar killed after Olympic torch ceremony

Juma was shot down with a pistol shot. The jaguar was an important example of one of so many endangered species and was under the care of the Amazon Army, which often adopts animals found in captivity.

In a statement, the Amazon Military Command states that Juma escaped from inside the zoo and, trying to be contained by veterinarians, eventually advanced on a soldier. Thus, as a security procedure and to protect the military's physical integrity, a shot was fired at the jaguar.

In Manaus, the participation of wild animals in parades is normal, even if condemned by biologists. Without having preserved areas, these animals end up dead or in zoos.
