A zoo in Denmark that provoked outrage after putting down a healthy giraffe has killed a family of 4 lions to make way for a new young male lion. Copenhagen Zoo says it “had to euthanise” two cubs and their parents after it failed to re-home them. The 16-year-old male and 14-year-old female were nearing the end of their natural lives in captivity, it added. Last month, the zoo killed a healthy giraffe because it was deemed surplus to requirements. Malcolm Brabant reports from Copenhagen.
