Denmark’s zoo sparked widespread anger after a controversial pets that are donated as a food for its eating population. The Aalborg Zoo, which is located in northern Denmark, recently shared a Facebook post asking the local population not for money or supplies, but for their unwanted pets.
According to a report issued by Associated PressThe Zoo gave the call as part of its efforts to create a more natural nutrition environment for predators. In this position, the zoo explained that the initiative was aimed at imitating the natural nutritional chain, describing this step as “for both the welfare of animals and professional integrity.”
The potential donor zoo confirmed that their pets “will” have been gently disposed of the trained employees “before serving it as feed. The post stated,” If you have a healthy animal that needs to get rid of various reasons, do not hesitate to donate us. “
In a translated version of the post, zoo officials explained that they are particularly looking for chicken, rabbits, Guinea pigs, and animals that, according to the zoo, contribute better to the predator system and can be fully fed. “This way, nothing is lost, and we guarantee natural behavior, nutrition and welfare of our predators,” wrote the zoo.
Surprisingly, the zoo is also open to accepting horses as donations. According to information on the zoo website, horse owners who donate their animals may be qualified to obtain a tax deduction equivalent to the value of the horse. However, specific criteria must be met before accepting the horse: the animal should be free of disease or treatment for at least a month before donating, and it should fulfill certain requirements in size and safely transferred.
A Facebook publication was accompanied by a wild cat with her mouth wide open, apparently yawning. The zoo also included a direct link to its website for more information about the donation process.
In an interview with BBCThe vice manager of the zoo, Pia Nielsen, defended the call, saying that the meat in the Aalborg Zoo has been fed with the younger livestock “for many years.” She said: “When you keep meat animals, it is necessary to provide them with meat, and it is preferable to be with fur and bones to give them a natural diet as much as possible.”
She also explained that such practices are not unusual in their country. “In Denmark, this practice is common, and many of our guests and partners estimate the opportunity to contribute. The livestock we receive are donations are chicken, rabbits, Guinea pigs and horses.”
