Zoo Requests Unwanted Pets to Feed to Hungry Carnivores
Briefly

The Aalborg Zoo in Denmark is requesting donations of small unwanted pets, such as chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, for its carnivorous animals. These pets will be humanely euthanized by trained staff to ensure proper nutrition and natural behavior for the predators. The zoo argues that this practice reflects natural food chain processes. While some experts support the zoo's approach in the context of animal welfare, critics, including PETA, argue against keeping wild carnivores in captivity and emphasize preserving their natural habitats instead.
