      This is incredibly irresponsible in my opinion, I understand nature/etc, but pets are not wild animals and this is cruel to an animal that has placed trust into people/a person and gives the impression it’s okay to just get tired of an animal and discard it. For an organization that’s supposed to be about animal welfare giving the signal that it’s okay to just get tired of a pet and give it away to be eaten to me is not a whole lot different than the people who think dog fighting is okay because wild animals fight.

      Seems better than them being abandoned or abused, but still a hard sell.

      How does one imitate natural food chain by giving predators euthanized pet meat…..that doesn’t exist in the wild? How does one simulate hunting of “whole prey” by…..skipping the hunting?

      I like this. Sure, ideally the pets would have a happy, healthy home and live out the rest of their days as intended. The harsh reality is that for many of these animals they’re euthanized and then cremated or buried. Being fed to another animal at the very least means they don’t go to waste. Secondarily, it potentially saves or extends the lives of animals which would otherwise be for human consumption. Again, feeding pets to zoo animals is far from my first choice, however it is better than the alternative.

      Uma musume fans freaking out now.

      And unwanted pets?! Anyone who has unwanted pets should probably not be allowed to care for another living being.

      If we kill pigs for humans and dogs and tigers to eat and regard that as morally permissible, then we can kill unwanted dogs or horses for tigers to eat without it being morally reprehensible. Don’t confuse your emotional reaction to something with a moral imperative.

      If the dog isn’t eaten, then a pig or some other animal would be. Plenty of dogs are euthanized every day simply for being unwanted, so this at least provides such killing with a purpose and is less wasteful.

      no mention of what zoo. no indication where this zoo is apart from a vauge in northern denmark. it sounds like ragebait to me.

      As someone who works in pet insurance, they should just make a deal with Vets Now.

      I don’t necessarily agree with this, the pet is under your care you have a moral obligation to watch out for its well being. Being lazy isn’t an excuse to put a perfectly healthy animal down.

      Horrible. A pet being ‚unwanted‘ shouldn’t be sufficient reason to kill them, that’s awful.

      For all the snowflakes complaining about why instead of incinerate just give them as food …. duck you! I care not about an animal who is not part of my daily life. My pets would/had/will have the end that provides the better comfort to me that raised him, took care of him …in order words was part of his daily life just like he was/is/will be part of my routine…so again duck you and any other animal in need! Downvote as much as you want, it will not change even a bit of this position of mine. Actually i rather valuate more my pets than 99.9% human being out there (including you that it is reading)

      That title is so wrong, and pure engagement ragebait. English is not my first language, but at least I know Denmark is a country, and Danish would be a person or entity from said country.

      My father used to farm Eggs and any unwanted Roosters he would donate to a local Zoo. It doesnt seem that outlandish to me?

      This happens in the US too.  Sometimes horses are euthanized because they are arthritic and can’t be kept comfortable, are dangerous to handle etc.  Putting them down with a bullet, if done properly, is fast and painless and their bodies being eaten means that at least they aren’t wasted by cremation or thrown in a landfill or taken to a rendering plant.  (Or shipped to another country to be slaughtered for human consumption.)

      Gently euthanized then fed to carnivores. I’m no vet but surely anything gently euthanized (pentobarb?) cannot be used as food afterwards? Not sure how gentle I’d call a captive bolt gun or a bullet.

    21. What_isWrong_withU on

      Fuck this. Donate unwanted children instead. Shit, I’ll round up a bunch for the zoos

    23. bonghitsforbeelzebub on

      Doesn’t really bother me if the animal is old and sick. Might as well use that protein.

      This sounds like what the plot would be to ‘Donald Trump’s America’ acted out by the New York Zoo

      My next door neighbour is a complete arsehole, would they like to feed him to a hippo? Also, can I watch?
