Baby giraffe born in Copenhagen Zoo infamous for killing its animals
Copenhagen Zoo prompted global outrage when a dead giraffe was fed to lions.

A controversial Danish zoo that was once labelled a "hideous institution" for feeding a healthy giraffe to lions has released a video on YouTube showing a giraffe giving birth as part of its breeding programme.

Copenhagen Zoo prompted global outrage in 2014 after the body of a giraffe was chopped up in front of school children before being fed to lions.

The incident with luring a healthy giraffe, & then shooting it in the head, then feeding it to lions, & letting the public watch..
Yea....that's just not right. Shoulda put it into the lion enclosure live and let em do what comes naturally. Woulda been a more accurate show for the public to watch.

Copenhagen Zoo:

The incident with luring a healthy giraffe, & then shooting it in the head, then feeding it to lions, & letting the public watch.. ( other zoos had offered to take it, & were turned down)

Another incident of doing a V-section on a giraffe in from of small children.

And there are other horrors.
I find these deplorable.

But... those were in 2014, & the zoo is slowing... cleaning up their act.

Geez!.. that is disgusting. Zoos are not supposed to simulate natural hunting/ feeding, as animals would do in the wild.
In the presense of whom ever is there that day, including children.

If people want to see that, or for their children to, they can turn on the TV.

Though, not to the same extremes,
most zoos are 'hideous institutions'.
