Nuremberg Zoo has sparked controversy after euthanizing 12 baboons due to overcrowding. Following the culling, six of the baboons were dismembered, with heads, hands, and feet removed, before being fed to the zoo's lions and tigers. This action has generated widespread public outcry and prompted legal complaints. The zoo's management defends the decision as a necessary measure for animal management, but animal rights activists and the general public have expressed strong condemnation of the practice.
