What is Japanese Wartime Zoo Policy : The Silent Victims of World War II about?
The Japanese government disposed of “dangerous animals” (not only carnivores but also herbivores, such as elephants) in zoos and circuses during World War II, including those in Japan’s three “colonies”--Korea, Taiwan, and Manchukuo, Japan’s puppet state in current Northeast China. Strangely, the “disposal order” was issued in August 1943, more than 15 months before U.S. B-29 air raids on Japan began. While some European zoos also destroyed their animals, none of the authorities in Europe enforced the disposal of zoo animals as systematically as the Japanese Home Ministry. No country conducted as nationwide and systematic a disposal of captive animals as Japan. This policy was an integral part of the Japanese government propaganda to mobilize the whole civilian population into total war, rather than for the ostensible purpose of public safety.
