Hearts remain heavy at the BioPark and in the surrounding Albuquerque community nearly one week after Jasper, an endangered Tasmanian devil, was beaten to death in his enclosure at the BioPark nearly a weekago.Police are still following up leads and the BioPark is currently addressing security measures by installing surveillance equipment near Jasper’s enclosure where three other devils still reside.Jasper was on loan from Zoos Victoria in Australia. For the first time, officials from the Zoo Aquarium Association of Australasia are speaking out about his death.“We're very saddened by the news, and we're particularly sad for the team at the Albuquerque BioPark who we know has worked so hard to make this opportunity happen for North America,” Executive Director of the Zoo Aquarium Association of Australasia Chris Hibbard said.Hibbard says Jasper and the three other devils at the BioPark were sent to North America as ambassadors for Tasmanian devil conservancy.He says Jasper’s death came as nothing but a shock, and that those who raised him are still heartbroken.Hibbard also added that he couldn’t understand why someone would want to harm a helpless endangered animal.“Zoos are a very well-loved part of our community, so when things like this happen it's a very sad event,” Hibbard said.“I'm sure there's a lot of sympathy out there for both Jasper and the team at the BioPark.”But is there any bad blood over Jasper’s death? And could the BioPark face any consequences? Hibbard says no, and adds that another devil may soon head this way in the future.“We will maintain a very positive and productive relationship with Albuquerque. No one could have seen this happening,” Hibbard said.A reward for any information about Jasper's killing doubled Tuesday. According to our partners at the Journal, a Corrales woman says she’ll pitch in $5,000 of her own to find Jasper’s killer.That brings the total reward to $10,000.MOBILE USERS: Tap here for video
