The author uses the work of Dwight Conquergood and posthumanist analysis to frame the killing of the young giraffe, Marius, by the Copenhagen Zoo as an execution. In doing so, he deploys the work of Irus Braverman to demonstrate the imbrication of humans, animal others, and technology in discourses of management of biopower and breeding value to pose the queer observation that it is none of our obligation to breed in captivity.
