Zoos are gross and inhumane. This is type of behavior happens when animals are kept in captivity and it's really gross to portray the zoo as the "nice" party for giving a 10€ plush as a replacement mom.

No this kind of behavior happens in nature as well. First time mothers often reject their baby and then the baby just dies.

It happens yes, but it's more common in zoos.
