| Danish zoo calls for donations of pets to feed predators | ||
| 2025-08-05 | ||
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] A zoo in the Danish city of Aalborg has called on residents to donate pets to feed predators in order to simulate hunting in the wild. The announcement was posted on the institution's Facebook page (owned by Meta, a company recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation). "Zoos need to imitate the natural food chain of animals, both for the sake of animal welfare and for the sake of professional ethics," the note says. Lynxes especially need such feeding. It is suggested to give horses, rabbits and guinea pigs to predators. The zoo assures that domestic animals are put to sleep before being fed to anyone so that they do not suffer.
This is not the first time that Danish zoos have attracted attention for their controversial treatment of animals. In February 2014, a giraffe was killed in front of spectators at the Copenhagen Zoo. It was butchered and fed to lions. In January 2017, a lion was publicly dissected at a zoo in the Danish city of Odense. Specialists removed the animal's internal organs and showed them to spectators. Children also watched the process.

| #13 Just let the predators roam free and they can find their own pet snacks. They have spent millions of years evolving to do just that. Do note that some of them will eat monkeys and other large primates, so if you have a lot of pedestrians or large homeless populations, there may be knock-on effects. |

| #8 Call when convicted murders, rapists and Pedophiles be donated. Rome had a spectator sport for that. Showed remarkable success in deterring future repeat offensives. |

| #2 "To feed me your pets might be cheaper, But, Danes, vær så venlig, dig deeper And humor my need To eat something that's bleeding By feeding me, kindly, that keeper." [pours tea, relieved that the article only clumsily _implies_ vivisection] Though if any of you know for certain that _Danes,_ of all people, are slicing up sleeping lions for the edification of children, please pipe up! |
