Danish zoo asks for unwanted pets to feed its predators
Aalborg Zoo in Denmark is asking for donations of live animals like chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs to feed to its predators, including the Eurasian lynx. The zoo seeks to imitate the natural diets of these animals and provides a tax break for live horse donations. By accepting healthy unwanted pets that are gently euthanized, the zoo aims to support the dietary needs of its carnivores while offering a unique opportunity for animal donors to contribute.
