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.

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

Back in the old days when I was growing up in the farming country of the upper midwest farmers were just transitioning from draft horse use to tractors. Many, like my dad still kept one team around for light field work like corn planting and in the winter to pull the bobsled, but eventually, all the aged and feeble horses were sold to a local mink farm in the area and feed to the minks.

In any event the animal was to be euthanized anyway, so what’s the big deal?

Just an excuse for people who won't read the article and can't think to rant and rave about nothing.

There’s more meat on mom than on that poor horse. Throw her in the cage.

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.

As it should be. People have become too soft.

Confusing headline:

I don’t care, but I’m pretty sure it includes dead animals.

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

Yes! Unless some women had some really unethical embryonic transplants, a cats’s mom is a cat. Dog’s mom is a bitch (hmm some possible room for interpretation there), etc.

Perhaps they should donate her mother.

Seriously, my mother killed our pet duck and served it up to us for dinner. She deboned it and called it pot roast. Wasn’t it delicious? IT WAS DONALD (BIG GRIN)!

I haven’t been able to eat duck since.

You don’t do this to pets.

Oh, my gosh…I don’t remember that thread, but it must have been HILARIOUS for everyone who had read the article or who already knew about Japan’s having a constitution. We do love to get outraged around here, lol!

They are killed before they are fed to the wild animals
