Pets Mom donates daughter’s pony to zoo — so that it can be devoured by lions: ‘Nothing goes to waste
NY Post ^ | Aug. 18, 2025 | y Brooke Steinberg

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.

This thread is one of the better ones but the king is still the one where the headline said something along the lines of “Japanese think the Constitution should be changed”

A bunch of hysterical posts before someone pointed out that Japan does have a Constitution and if they want to change it that is their right.

The animals would have died from high cholesterol from all of that fat.

There was a small roadside zoo close by the farm I used to work at. Sometimes you could hear the lions roaring in the morning. When a freshly dead cow had to be disposed of, we would winch it onto the truck and drive down to the zoo. Drive into the enclosure. They would open the door to the pen and the lions would come out and jump up and drag the carcass off. Those things are reeeaaallly strong.

What’s next?

“Help - I’ve fallen and can’t get up!”

“Stay calm, ma’am. Zoo-keepers have been called and they’re on their way.”

Exactly. I’ve had horses my whole life. When they get to old, the only human solution is euthanize them. People used to just call the “knackers” to come collect the carcass, because burying something as large as a horse is an environmental problem. You have to be aware about things like the water table, and underground water movement. My vet operates a large cat rescue, for animals that have been confiscated by authorities. Lots of people donate large livestock to help him with feeding the lions, tigers, leopards, pumas...... feed them to the cats or feed them to the worms, do you think it matters to the horse?

Why do lions lick their butts?

To get the taste of Somali out of their mouth.

Just curious here, but how do you think the meat sections in your super market gets stocked?

As awful as it sounds, it can be much worse. Most of the time, hungry lions will kill quickly, but if they’re not all that hungry, they will play with their food. One safari guide talked about lions taking down a gnu or a Cape buffalo, but they just gnawed on it for hours as it cried in agony. It was the worst thing he’d ever witnessed, and he was used to all sorts of predator feeding habits, even how Wild Dogs grab and eat their prey on the run, tearing their catch apart alive.

Sick psycho bitches. They never considered the horse a pet. Just a utility.

Most horses are a utility. So are most cattle, pigs, sheep, etc.

We eat meat. You expect lions to eat their veggies?
