Shocking and horrible!! Plus I was shocked and upset by the item on the national news about people videoing themselves torturing cats. Horrendous! What is wrong with people???

So running out of food for zoo animals? What about the vegetarian option?

I dont think there is a vegetarian option for Lions and Tigers, or birds of prey.

Yes, I've just read about it in The Guardian. I'm appalled.

The zoo's reassurances that any donated pets will be "gently euthanised" are a hoot - after all, whatever goes on behind (closed) zoo doors is anybody's guess.......

We often hear how wonderful Denmark is and how we could in some cases follow their example, but really?

A zoo in Denmark has appealed to the public to donate their healthy unwanted pets as part of a unique effort to provide food for its predators.

Aalborg Zoo has asked for donations of live chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, which it says are "gently euthanised" by trained staff.

The zoo also accepts donations of live horses - with owners able to benefit from a potential tax break
