A zoo in Denmark has come under fire for seeking unwanted family pets to feed its predators.
The Aalborg Zoo took to Facebook, asking people to donate animals like chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs in a bid to “imitate the natural food chain of the animals”.
“That way, nothing goes to waste — and we ensure natural behaviour, nutrition and well-being of our predators,” the post said.
On its website, the zoo said the donated animals would be “gently euthanised” by trained staff before being served up as food.
