GermanyThe Munich Tierpark Hellabrunn has euthanized its last two Humboldt penguins due to concerns over potential tuberculosis-causing bacteria. While the park stated there was no definitive proof of infection, a commission of experts, including international specialists, concluded that the decision was necessary to protect animal health, staff safety, and prevent disease spread.
