A zoo in Denmark is asking the public for donations of unwanted small pets or horses to feed its captive predators.
"In zoos, we have a responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals — in terms of both animal welfare and professional integrity," Aalborg Zoo said in a post on social media.
The zoo in northern Denmark said that chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs were an important part of the diet of its predators, which need "whole prey," reminiscent of what they would hunt in the wild.
"If you have a healthy animal that has to leave here for various reasons, feel free to donate it to us. The animals are gently euthanized by trained staff and are afterwards used as fodder. That way, nothing goes to waste — and we ensure natural behavior, nutrition and well-being for our predators," Aalborg Zoo said.
The zoo said it accepts donated rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., but no more than four at a time.
It also accepts horses for feeding its animals, which it says on its website are euthanized by a zookeeper and a veterinarian.

If the predators are supposed to have live prey, maybe a shot meth before tossing them over the fence would work.
In the small print they are also accepting Christians who will not be euthanized but will be supplied for live sport.
Take my wife please
That’s a great idea. Also, I know of a few campgrounds that are infested with raccoons.
Wow.
Take my (female) dog, please!
The US has LOTS of politicians we’d gladly donate to the cause.
They captured France??
All the zoo should do is just ask for money donations so that they can buy more of the feeds they are already buying.
Before you give up FiFi, be aware that the “gentle euthanasia” they're speaking of isn't a drug…..it's a quick snap of their neck. Bastards.
“At certain times, mom and dad would have donated me.”
roger that ... but look on the bright side: at least you would probably have qualified for pre-euthanization prior to being fed to the lions ...
Did they run out of Purina Zoo Chow? Or how about cattle?
My parents would have just tossed me over the wall, “Here, ya go!”
Who would have and keep an unwanted pet or horse?
What kind of a zoo doesn’t have enough money for animal feed? I would never donate money or an animal to a failing organization.
Wouldn’t the meat be tainted by euthanasia? Unless, of course, they use throat slitting, not gas or ketamine.
