Family of healthy lions killed at Copenhagen Zoo

Copenhagen Zoo killed a family of four healthy lions Monday, March 24, 2014.  About a month earlier, this same zoo destroyed a young healthy giraffe. Since then animal advocates have been blasting the zoo's policies. But despite the negativity surrounding the zoo, officials killed four healthy endangered lions to make room for a new lion in their breeding program.

I am extremely disturbed by Copenhagen Zoo. These animals could easily have been relocated to other zoos and sanctuaries. But it seems like the officials running the zoo feel it's easier to kill them. Also, I get the impression Copenhagen Zoo cares more about money than animal welfare. I hope an international investigation is held very soon. If not, more animals will likely die.
