The zoo in Ostrava, Czech Republic, posts a picture of a lion eating a dead giraffe.

The photo outraged many users on the net and caused a shitstorm.

It's no secret that lions are carnivores.

After all, that is their nature.

In the wild, antelopes, wildebeests and other animals are on their menu.

In a zoo in the Czech Republic, a giraffe was recently added to the menu for the lions living there.

A photo of a lion eating a giraffe outraged many users.

Is the photo a no-go?

In the photo posted by Ostrava Zoo on its Facebook page, a lion can be seen nibbling on a piece of meat.

It is clearly recognizable that the food has yellow-brown mottled fur and obviously comes from a giraffe.

The animal was killed on September 27 at the zoo located in the eastern part of the Czech Republic.

As the zoo reports, a heart defect was discovered in the 19-year-old female giraffe after a collapse.

"Due to the animal's general condition, age and stress, euthanasia was carried out," the zoo said in a Facebook post.

"The meat of the animal, which weighs more than 300 kg, served as food for other carnivores, just like in the wild," explains the zoo.

Internet users think the decision to use the meat as fodder for other animals is a good one, but the choice of photos is heavily criticized.

Mainly because the photo clearly shows that it is a giraffe.

"I understand, but this photo is disgusting," writes one user.

Another commented: "Just because it occurs in nature doesn't mean you have to do it and the whole world will see it!

In nature, wild animals don't live in cages either, but you're not ready for this conversation, are you?

But there are also other opinions.

“It's great that the zoo can show the public the reality.

You don't have to be ashamed of that!

Unfortunately, Disney tends to come out on top, and that's how people lose track of reality," read another comment.

"It's natural and would also be the same in the wild," it adds, and another: "I admire and congratulate you on your courage to publish this!"
