A Danish zoo has sparked controversy after urging pet owners to donate healthy animals to be used as food for its predators. Pernille Sohl, a farm owner, chose to euthanize her daughter's pony, which suffered from severe pain, and deliver it to Aalborg Zoo as part of the initiative. The zoo defends the practice, saying it supports animal welfare and mimics the natural food chain, with donors receiving small tax credits for their contributions. Despite criticism, some pet owners support the program, citing both ethical and practical reasons for participating. The zoo reports receiving dozens of animals this year, and emphasizes that pets are euthanized gently and nothing goes to waste.
