"We have a responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals — in terms of both animal welfare and professional integrity," Aalborg Zoo says.
To be fair to the zoo, everything they are asking for aside from the horses is available from RodentPro. I don’t like the idea of taking public donations like this because I’d worry about some weirdo poisoning something.
Animals with known medical histories will sometimes get “reused” after they expire. Time, money, and effort was put into these animals that didn’t make it, and in the wild, they would have served this purpose anyway. But those animals aren’t pets either.
Really the only news here is the public solicitation. I don’t think it’s the best look for the zoo, I don’t know their financial situation, but I can’t imagine they will be flooded with animals to make it worth the people this will turn off. The only thing we ask the public for is donations to buy food, canned or bagged commercial pet foods, or donations of fish that people catch.
I mean, Laura Loomer has literally called for 65 million people to be fed to alligators, so this would practically qualify as a moderate position by current GOP standards.
She’s frothing at the mouth at the thought of getting American zoos to do this
