King of the Forest Starving

Lions are undoubtedly considered to be the king of the
forest. But the lions born in a major zoo in Ethiopia is
having a bad time. A major zoo in Ethiopia is putting to
sleep rare lion cubs and selling it to be stuffed. Lion is the
national symbol of the country but they are doing this
because the zoo can’t afford to care for the animals.

“These animals are the pride of our country” The official of
the lion zoo says “But our only alternative now is to send
them to the taxidermist”.

Ethiopian lions are famous for their black manes; adorn
statues and the local currency the countries emperors
were long fascinated by lions, part of the connection with
Solomon, the lion of Judah. This year, the Lions Zoo has
put to sleep six cubs so far.

The official says that poisoning of cubs has been going on
at least since he arrived two years ago. Total number of
cubs killed was not clear. Federal wildlife officials supervise
euthanasia.
