Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Just when we think we’ve seen it all, Europeans have a way of surprising us – a bad way.
It’s true that during covid a lot of frightened people relinquished their pets – but this is getting out of hand.
It turns out that a zoo in Denmark is asking for donations of small pets as food for its predators.
Associated Press reported:
“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’.”
The mere phrase ‘gently euthanized’ says it all.
The Aalborg zoo is trying to get citizens to donate guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens to be used to feed the predators.
Daily Mail reported:
“’The animals are gently euthanized by trained staff and are afterwards used as fodder’, the zoo’s official Instagram account announced to its 23.7 thousand followers.
‘That way, nothing goes to waste – and we ensure natural behavior, nutrition and [the] well-being of our predators’.”
