Remember the Matt Damon movie, “We Bought a Zoo”? This would have been a fun subplot . . .
A zoo in Denmark is in the news after asking people to donate their PETS, so they can feed them to the LIONS and other apex predators.
The Aalborg Zoo is in northern Denmark. They made the appeal on Facebook last Thursday, saying, “Did you know that you can donate smaller pets to [us]?” And they’re not talking about sick pets . . . they only accept HEALTHY ones.
People are losing their minds on social media, because what kind of absolute villain would donate their cat or dog for something like that? But it turns out dogs and cats aren’t part of it.
According to the zoo’s website, they only accept pet rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, and small HORSES. And don’t worry. They say your child’s beloved bunny will be “gently euthanized” BEFORE it’s torn apart by a wild animal.
They explained that some zoo animals . . . including big cats . . . should really be eating animals whole, fur and all. It better simulates what they’d eat in the wild, and it’s a win-win because “nothing goes to waste.”
According to their website, you can donate up to four animals at once. So if you’re trying to go full guinea pig GENOCIDE, you might need to space it out over a couple weeks.
Not everyone online thinks it’s crazy, by the way. A handful of people are defending the zoo . . . calling people soft and naïve . . . and saying the policy makes sense.
