Something is rotten in Denmark, but it's not the food at this zoo.
They only want the freshest of food for their animals, and that's why they are asking for patrons to bring in their slightly used pets.
From the AP:
The Aalborg zoo said it is trying to mimic the natural food chain of the animals housed there 'for the sake of both animal welfare and professional integrity' and offers assurances the pets will be 'gently euthanized' by trained staff.
The zoo in northern Denmark explained in a Facebook post that 'if you have a healthy animal that needs to be given away for various reasons, feel free to donate it to us.'
Yes, mom and dad, if you have a little Guinea Pig that needs to make an unscheduled journey to Guinea Pig heaven ...
... you can have that animal go out in the most epic fashion imaginable. Being eaten by a lion.
Or a tiger, or a bear ...
The zoo points to guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens as possible donations. After being euthanized, the animals will be used as fodder, the zoo said.
'That way, nothing goes to waste — and we ensure natural behavior, nutrition and well-being of our predators,' the zoo said.
Ahh, yes, there's nothing more natural for a jungle predator than to have a pre-euthanized baby hamster that belonged to a little kid served to him through a little chute.
Truly, this zoo is keeping their animals in tip-top hunting shape!
The online call for pet donations is accompanied by a picture of a wildcat baring its teeth with its mouth wide open and a link to the zoo's website, noting the facility also is interested in receiving horses.
Oh no ... not the horses! Not the stallion!
