A newspaper here (would link it, but its in potuguese )reported that, after the controversy with the giraffe, a zoo in copenhagen put down 4 lions-including 2 that were 10 months old - to make room for a new one.
The reason was that lions are a proud animal and that the 4 would be unable to compete with the new one over mating rights
Once again it was said that the was unable to find a new home for those put down.
