Danish Zoo Seeks Small Pet Donations to Nourish Its Carnivores

AALBORG, DENMARK, AUG 5 – Aalborg Zoo seeks small pet donations to feed carnivores, ensuring natural diet and reducing waste; donations capped at four animals, with tax deductions for horses, zoo officials said.

  • Aalborg zoo in northern Denmark published a Facebook appeal asking for unwanted small pets to donate as food for its carnivores.

  • The appeal specifies guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, and horses as possible donations, and assures euthanized animals will be fed to predators.
  • The zoo stated that it promotes the health, dietary needs, and instinctual habits of its predator animals and asks donors to limit contributions to no more than four small species at a time.
  • This unusual request highlights the zoo’s effort to maintain a natural diet for predators and underscores ongoing practices of feeding euthanized animals to carnivores.
