Predators at a zoo in Denmark could soon be feasting on new donations from the public — their pets.
Aalborg Zoo, which sits on the outskirts of the city of the same name in the Scandinavian country’s northwest, put out a call Thursday for unwanted animals on its social media channels.
Donated pets will be “gently euthanized” by trained staff and then used as “fodder” to take care of the well-being of predators, it said, alongside a photo showing a lynx baring its teeth.
Chicken, rabbits and guinea pigs would be welcome as food for its meat-eaters, the post said.
The post echoed a similar appeal that appeared on the zoo's website earlier this year, which also called for horses to be donated so long as they were no taller than 4 feet 10 inches, healthy and not treated for illness in
