A zoo in Denmark is asking for donations of small pets as food for its predators.
The Aalborg Zoo said it is trying to mimic the natural food chain of the animals housed there “for the sake of both animal welfare and professional integrity” and offers assurances the pets will be “gently euthanized” by trained staff.
The zoo in northern Denmark explained in a Facebook post that “if you have a healthy animal that needs to be given away for various reasons, feel free to donate it to us.”
The zoo points to guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens as possible donations. After being euthanized, the animals will be used as fodder, the zoo said.
“That way, nothing goes to waste — and we ensure natural behavior, nutrition and well-being of our predators,” the zoo said.
The online call for pet donations is accompanied by a picture of a wildcat baring its teeth with its mouth wide open and a link to the zoo's website, noting the facility also is interested in receiving horses.
The zoo, which could not immediately be reached for additional details, does not list other pets or animals as possible donations.

I posted yesterday on a thread about this, that we will gladly donate some DC politicians...even State or local. We’re not fussy and I’m sure the animals aren’t...
The Aalborg Zoo can have my tortoise when they pry her from my cold, dead fingers.
pretty soon the left will ask for people to ‘donate unwanted unborn children’ for zoo food
I would not be surprised to see videos showing up on Youtube of tigers chasing family dogs. Hey, it's "funny".

They’re barking up the wrong tree.
No pet of mine would never be sacrificed for any reason whatsoever. No parrot, cat, dog or goldfish, no matter how old they are
Pit bulls and other viscious dogs should be disposed at the zoo.
The Danes should donate their politicians and officials for the carnivores to dine on.
Next will be small children.
This is another sign of the times we are living in.
That’s a good idea.
Why don’t they forge a link with the assisted-suicide-pod people?
“Do you love animals? Are your folks becoming too much of a hassle to keep in cat food and adult diapers? ...”
I mean, it IS Yurp and all... the meaning and relative value of human vs animal life is different over there...
Does it say anything about In-Laws? Asking for a friend.
Perhaps they could ask for volunteers from the “Furries”.
The people who dump their pets as strays aren’t going to go to the trouble of donating them to the zoo.
As the loyal servant of a parrot, I like anyone who remembers to mention them. Sincerely, The Birdman.
It’s to take potential food sources away from the people.
