It appears that the same zoo has had a family of lions put to sleep.

The old male and the female who are now considered too old to breed.

The zoo is acquiring a new young male lion so the two cubs were also put to sleep as the new male lion would not tolerate the cubs ........

Its quite shocking ...

Yes, but PETA condemned the ''callous'' action of the zoo, which brought the lions into the world only to ''bump them off.''  That just about sums it up. There are 237 comments in the Mail link on this story, and the evidence is there that were killed unnecessarily.

They would have been moved. The new male would'nt have needed to tolerate them. And put the ruddy great BOLT GUN to the zoo owners heads.
