I think if you are going to capture a pregnant mother and hold her in captivity, those who have the mother in captivity are just as responsible for the offspring as the mother. And in thus I'm glad they took responsibility for the cub.
The reason they were rejected by the mother was probably because she might have felt that she had nothing to teach them, the zoo feeds her, so why would she need to teach them anything? The humans will provide if they are not doing anything, so they don't have to do anything. And guess what, they proved her right.
