Aalborg Zoo in Denmark is seeking donations of pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, and horses for its predators. The zoo aims to mimic the natural food chain and noted that pet owners can receive a tax deduction for horse donations. Donated animals are gently euthanized by trained staff, ensuring the well-being and natural behavior of the predators. Although the initiative has drawn international attention, it is a common practice in Denmark, where many zoo guests and partners support the practice of feeding carnivores with smaller livestock.
