The headline for this post is very close to BB’s platonic ideal.

The title’s misleading. According to the article, Mufasa was going to be euthanized anyway, so the zoo took semen before they did that.
Poor old guy. Then again, it’s a tossup between dying of injuries and starvation at age 10 vs. 20 years of zoo-induced boredom.

Yeah it’s not like I come to BB for serious journalism, but this headline strongly implies that he died from the electro-ejaculation, which does not appear to be the case.

As I initially understood it, the procedure really helped to do him in. But I suppose, since he was already so old, it wouldn’t have made a difference anyway.

Well, the French do call it la petite mort. Luckily, not every time.

What’s wrong with the pencil-necked poindexters working at this Lion Lab?! “Electro-ejaculation”?! Surely it should be called “Electojaculation”!

How does one apply for this hospice?

You just need to apply to Marcel Merkin’s Morbid Mesa Masturbatorium. They’ll finish you off pretty quick.

I too would jump in surprise if a lioness grabbed my scrotum with her teeth.
Unlike the resigned lion in the second picture, I would have probably moved quickly into weeping and screaming.
