[00:10.80]Earlier in the day it was shown off during an Olympic torch ceremony in the city of Manaus. [00:19.64]The mascot of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro is a cartoon-style jaguar. [00:27.72]A person wearing a jaguar costume appears at many of the pre-Olympic events. [00:35.00]The Rio 2016 organizing committee [00:39.00]apologized for using a chained-up wild animal alongside the Olympic torch. [00:47.08]"We made a mistake ... this image goes against our beliefs and our values," [00:54.32]the organizers wrote in a statement. [00:57.96]Jaguars are extinct in two South American countries [01:03.32]and are in danger of disappearing in Brazil. [01:07.60]The jaguar's name was Juma. [01:11.36]Many animal-rights supporters were upset that the big cat was killed. [01:18.76]The Brazilian army said the animal was first shot with a tranquilizer dart, [01:26.64]but still walked toward a soldier. [01:30.56]One animal rights group asked: [01:33.56]"when will people stop with this sick need to show power?" [01:39.80]The use of the jaguar at the event was also illegal. [01:45.76]A government authority that oversees the use of wild animals [01:51.92]said no request was made to use the jaguar at the event. [01:58.36]Many people reacted to the jaguar's death on social media. [02:04.00]It reminded people of some recent animal deaths. [02:09.00]In late May, a gorilla was killed in the U.S. state of Ohio [02:15.12]after a boy climbed into the animal's enclosure at the zoo in Cincinnati. [02:23.08]More recently, five alligators were killed at Disney World in Florida. [02:30.40]Authorities were looking for the alligator that drowned a small boy. [02:36.00]Last year, people were upset when a protected lion named Cecil [02:43.20]was killed in Africa by an American hunter. [02:47.60]The death of the jaguar is only the latest problem leading up to the Rio Olympics. [02:55.08]The Olympic organizing committee has been dealing with a number of problems. [03:02.40]Athletes are concerned about raw sewage leaks [03:06.76]at open water venues for sailing and swimming. [03:12.08]Many are worried about mosquitos carrying the Zika virus. [03:17.72]Rory McIlroy, the champion Irish golfer, announced on Wednesday [03:24.00]that he would not compete at the Olympics due to concerns about Zika. [03:31.00]The Games begin August 5. [03:34.60]And that's What's Trending Today. [03:37.56]I'm Dan Friedell. [03:39.16]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM
