The zoo in northern Denmark said that chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs were an important part of the diet of its predators, which need "whole prey," reminiscent of what they would hunt in the wild.
"If you have a healthy animal that has to leave here for various reasons, feel free to donate it to us. The animals are gently euthanized by trained staff and are afterwards used as fodder. That way, nothing goes to waste — and we ensure natural behavior, nutrition and well-being for our predators," Aalborg Zoo said.
The zoo said it accepts donated rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., but no more than four at a time.
They're eating the dogs! They're eating the cats! No, they are not. It doesn't say dogs and cats. It says "chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs."
Here's the notice. Is that the zoo's predator or somebody's unwanted cat?
That's easy to translate and to see that's a lynx: "Chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs form an important part of the diet of our predators – especially the European lynx, which needs whole prey that resembles what it would naturally hunt in the wild."

Pussycats in the wild. #NoJudgment #NoLabels #PassTheVegan
I have a yard full of rabbits they can have. Bastards ate our hostas to the ground.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: To GTFO of Denmark!!!
He said a prayer, got ate by a bear
He ain't no chicken no more
As I was looking out my window this afternoon, I had a young buck with a velvet rack and a yearling doe about 15 ft from my window, placidly going after the wife's vincas. Dang things are like rabbits around here, I'd be happy to ship some off if they'll cover airfare.
There are dozens of Democrat Texas legislators who we no longer need- would the Denmark zoo take them?
Back during the 2008 financial crisis, my local wildlife park (Out Of Africa) was quietly accepting donations of horses to feed its lions and tigers. US slaughterhouses were no longer allowed to accept them (I believe) and many of the owners couldn't afford to maintain them anymore. Horses were being abandoned and starving to death at times. It was a win/win situation. Naturally, many people were horrified by this.
When I was in college, I had a whoops! brood of hamsters and sold them to a local pet shop for $1 each. It was years later that I realized they probably wouldn't buy animals for resale off the street - and that they also sold snakes.
Can we watch?
Is there something wrong with watching? If we watch a lion in Africa take down a giselle and eat it whole with his buddies ... is it the same thing watching an imprisoned crockodile go to town on an obese pug who can't stop keeping everyone away with his constant snoring?
What's the difference, exactly?
I'm not donating prison food unless I can watch the inmates consume it.
"Bastards ate our hostas to the ground."
How? You can pull a hosta out by the roots and it will grow back tomorrow.
People will think this is awful because they have a ridiculously romantic idea of what nature is. It's not nice, folks.
I got this from today’s Instapundit. At a Trader Joe’s in Oakland, CA, a group of totally serious and credible people held a funeral for the packages of chicken in the frozen section. The ceremony included a a person in a black robe ringing a bell, chanting, and beating a drum. These activists, who don’t seem the least but unhinged, laid flowers on the packages of chicken, which they covered in black cloth.
No telling how’d they’d react to chickens being fed to lions and other predators.
"First they came for the chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs, and I said nothing..."
