Given that zoos claim that animals are kept in order to support the conservation of threatened species, it is therefore unclear why any member of @placeholder' subspecies should be held captive at all. | (CNN) -- The killing of a young giraffe named Marius at Copenhagen Zoo sparked international outrage this weekend. On Sunday, he was shot with a bolt gun then publicly dissected before being fed to the lions. In its defense, the zoo has argued that Marius' death was necessary to protect the genetic diversity of his species. It was claimed that to allow Marius to take up space that could be used to house another animal with more desirable genetic make-up may hinder conservation breeding programs. Contraception which required sedation is dangerous and giraffes might die during the procedure. As such, Marius' birth could not have been safely prevented. Marius could not be rehomed because sending him somewhere other than a zoo which was a member of the European Association for Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) could result in him being sold into a circus, which would be against EAZA rules. In effect, the zoo's hands were tied, it was implied.

If interest rates went up, customers with an @placeholder would pay no more than an agreed capped rate. | By Rob Preece PUBLISHED: 03:23 EST, 29 June 2012 | UPDATED: 09:45 EST, 29 June 2012 Another scandal rocked the financial sector today as the City watchdog revealed some of Britain's largest banks will have to refund or pay compensation to potentially thousands of small businesses.

They were found to have mis-sold so-called interest rate swap arrangements (IRSAs), which some small businesses bought as protection - or to act as a hedge - against a rise in interest rates without fully grasping the downside risks.

@placeholder has also played a part in Stevens' return to the saddle. | (CNN) -- Every morning before riding, Gary Stevens has to walk four miles. The walk is a necessity, the only way the 51-year-old can get his ailing knees slowly warmed up and working, capable of dealing with the demands on those damaged joints of riding some of the world's best horses at speeds of up to 45 mph. When the American first retired in 2005, he had enough money in the bank from a glittering riding career to kill any thought of a comeback. Then there was the ensuing broadcasting career, not to mention acting forays in the movie "Seabiscuit" and the television series "Luck."

By the end of 1983, @placeholder had claimed 2,100 lives, but the government would hardly acknowledge that anything was awry. | (CNN) -- "The Normal Heart," written by my friend, the brilliant playwright Larry Kramer, and based on his story during the earliest days of the AIDS epidemic, tells a tale that many of us lived through, and many others did not survive. It's as relevant today as an HBO movie as when it premiered on the stage in New York City in 1985. Back then, The New York Times refused to print the word "gay," and New York Mayor Ed Koch was agonizingly slow to respond to the unfolding epidemic. Fear was everywhere. Around the country, family members shunned infected relatives, doctors were afraid to touch AIDS patients, let alone treat them, and hospital wards filled up with young men covered in lesions, dying excruciating deaths. I've almost lost track of the number of funerals I went to in those years. My friends were dying all around me -- I'm lucky that I somehow survived.

While polls show Bush's popularity remains at near-record lows, @placeholder ranks even lower as a whole. | NEW ALBANY, Indiana (CNN) -- President Bush vetoed a $600 billion spending bill Tuesday, accusing Democratic leaders of wasting money and plotting tax increases, then took his budget fight with Congress on the road. Congress should cut spending "and send me a responsible measure that I can sign into law," President Bush said. "The majority was elected on a pledge of fiscal responsibility, but so far, it's acting like a teenager with a new credit card," he said in a speech in New Albany, Indiana. The bill -- which Bush said was laden with $10 billion in "pork" -- would have funded the departments of Labor, Education, and Health and Human Services. It also would have funded projects such as a prison museum, a sailing school and a program to teach Portuguese.
