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.

I begin to wonder if the LIONS are needed in the Netherlands.

You guys aren’t reading the story

If that horse had to haul her ass around it’s no wonder it’s a swayback.

I had to put my dog to sleep . It was pretty traumatic the way they did it. It was not what I was lead to believe would happen.

I can’t imagine then saying go feed her to the lions.

Pernille’s next donation will be her mother and father since they are going to die anyway.

The Europeans are really mentality ill people.

#16: "I’d throw in that awful mom and keep the pony."

Hahahaha! YES! 👍

Donate the mom to be eaten by lions

[Petrosius]

The pets don’t have human moms; they have owners. The pony’s mom was a mare.

Sick psycho bitches. They never considered the horse a pet. Just a utility. When the utility served its purpose it was disposed of - not even in a humane way but in a most gruesome manner to extract every bit of value out of the poor animal, even in its dying moments. That’s what the horse got for being a “pet”.

In socialism, the value of life is reduced to it’s usefulness.
It’s all the same to the liberal if a pony is loved or turned to meat for lions.

The big deal is the terror and pain.

A previous article did say that all pets would be humanely euthanized before being fed to the zoo animals. Still...pretty gruesome to think about it. I wouldn’t want to visit a zoo & watch a lion tearing up a pony, dog or cat.

When we had to put our cat to sleep we held him while they gave him a shot and that was basically it. He went to sleep, stopped breathing and his little heart gave one last thump-thump and he was gone.

We gave him a proper burial but I know that for large animals that can be an issue unless you have a back-hoe.

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

It looks like mom could have fed the lions for a month.

[noiseman]

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

Killjoy. Are you new here?

The pets don’t have human moms; they have owners. The pony’s mom was a mare.

Don’t let the “fur baby” women on Nextdoor hear you. They’ll riot.

[TXBlair]

It is definitely a proud FR tradition, lol.

THAT IS A HORSE——NOT A PONY

[ridesthemiles]

PRETTY SURE IT WAS DEAD BEFORE THE LIONS GOT IT.

Who leaves a pony-eating lion country to go to a non-pony-eating lion country??
