Pets Mom donates daughter’s pony to zoo — so that it can be devoured by lions: ‘Nothing goes to waste

A Danish woman donated her daughter’s pet pony to Zoo in Denmark — so it could be eaten by lions.

Pernille Sohl reportedly donated her teenage daughter Angelina’s German riding pony, Chicago 57, to the Aalborg Zoo in the country’s northern region.

Zookeepers have said they’re hoping to mimic the natural food chain of predators by feeding them smaller donated pets.

“It might sound very dramatic and bizarre that you would feed your pet to animals in the zoo,” Sohl, 44, told the Times UK. “But they are going to be put down anyway and it is not like they are alive when they are given to the predators.”

Aalborg Zoo has asked for donations of “a healthy animal that needs to be given away for various reasons” — including guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens — to be “gently euthanized” before being used as a meal, the facility said in a Facebook post.

Throw them some some illegal Somalis and Zulus and "migrants". That's the natural diet of African Lions, not some girl's tame pet pony.

Slowly by surely, they will come to accept Christians. Accepting pets is just a way of conditioning the people to their population control changes.

I wonder if the girl knew her mother was going to give her pet pony to the lions.

[Secret Agent Man]

I’d never do that to one of my pets. I would have fought anyone to the death for trying to kill one of my pets. Thats a horrific death for wild animals, even more so for a domesticated pet animal thats relied on people taking care of them their entire lives.

Those are sick twisted people.

I would have donated them instead...😃😁🤣

[Tell It Right]

Donated the pony to the zoo.
When the equine could have been glue.
That would have helped kids with projects for school.
Instead of becoming just lion poop.

This would have never happened if the Injuns hadn't introduced horses to whites. --- Biden

Current story about something that happened five years ago.
In any event the animal was to be euthanized anyway, so what’s the big deal?

[Omnivore-Dan]

Could throw in some democrats.

[dfwgator]

It’s the Circle of Life......

[Repeat Offender]

Why donate the horse? There’s more meat in the cow on the left.

[HerrBlucher]

The big deal is the terror and pain.,The pony has to go through being devoured by lions .being euthanized is painless.

[SaveFerris]

I wanted to say it.....

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The pony was dead before he (she?) was fed to the lions or whatever beast they fed her (him?) to.

I am not sure how I would feel about this honestly.

[Secret Agent Man]

I know how I feel about it.

[Veto!]

I’d throw in that awful mom and keep the pony.

[Don W]

Amazingly enough, actually reading JUST THE EXCERPT reveals that they DO euthanize the animal before mealtime.

[lgjhn23]

America could donate all its useless ghettopotomai....
It’d kee those lions well-fed for a very long time.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Ok.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You expect people to actually read the article when they can be throwing a fit over something that only happened in their imagination?

And violate tradition?
