In a bold move to ensure that its predators are well-fed, a zoo in Denmark is asking for donations of small pets such as rabbits and horses from the public. The zoo, facing financial challenges due to the ongoing pandemic, has reached out to pet owners for help in feeding its animals.

The zoo's decision has sparked controversy, with some animal rights activists expressing concern about the welfare of the animals being used as food. However, the zoo maintains that it is necessary to keep its predators healthy and well-nourished.

According to the zoo's spokesperson, the animals in captivity need a balanced diet that includes live prey, and the donations from pet owners will help meet those requirements. The zoo has assured donors that the animals will be humanely euthanized before being fed to the predators.

While some may find the zoo's request unsettling, others see it as a practical solution to a challenging situation. As the debate continues, the zoo is hopeful that the public will support its efforts to care for its animals in the face of financial constraints.
