A Zoo in Denmark Wants to Feed Your Pets to Its Predators

Danish Zoo Seeks Donations of Pets as Predator Food A zoo in Denmark is encouraging pet owners to donate their animals as food for the zoo's captive carnivores, such as lynxes and lions. The zoo argues that this practice is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective than traditional methods of disposing of deceased pets. The zoo claims that feeding the predators with donated pets is a "win-win" situation, as it provides nutritious food for the animals and reduces waste. However, the idea has sparked controversy, with some critics arguing that it is unethical and could lead to the exploitation of pet owners. The zoo maintains that the program is voluntary and that owners will be able to say goodbye to their pets before they are fed to the predators.
