Thank you Fido for being such a good dog for all of your life. But, you are getting kind of old. Now, for your last day of life, let's take a ride to the zoo so i can throw you in a cage full of starving wild cats for them to play with you while shredding you to pieces before eating you.
If you read the article they are actually promising to "gently euthanize" said pets before giving them, already dead, as food to the predators.
Should try to read the whole article before jumping to conclusions, those headlines are one way the papers use to shape opinions or steer their readers to whatever direction they want us to go.
Nothing about that either. Presumably up to the owners of the pets to decide. You do know that a lot of times old pets need to be put down simply because they are old and their quality of life is getting low because the aches and pains of just being old? So if your pet is at that point, I don't see anything inherently wrong for the zoo to ask for the carcass.
The article says "nearing the end of their life". The animals are going to be put to sleep whether the owner donates them or euthanize it themselves. Of course they're morons for thinking anyone will donate. But they're not psychos as some folks in this thread are portraying them as.
Nepotism, blind luck and failing upwards, promotion by seniority rather than skill. Or the people above them wanting a disposable scapegoat for decisions they want to do. But know will be unpopular. The list is endless.
In this case it looks like it is in part driven by cultural differences and partly differences in how U.S and European Zoos are run as a matter of policy.
As the Article also notes the same Zoo arbitrarily euthanized otherwise Healthy Animals on several separate occasions. Simply due to convenience. Rather than trade the animals and or pursue alternative methods.
Yes, i was speaking of the stupidity of anyone who would think the People would accept feeding pets to zoo animals. There are many forms of Pure stupidity.
This is coming from some one that has no concept of the social deal you have with a pet....The moment you care for a pet they are a family member its a contract. best said this was an idea spun by a psychopath that has no concept of loyalty to a dependent creature.
A pet is not a mere object to be owned and discarded like a bottle cap, or a piece of lent. I pet whether a turtle, and hamster, a rabbit is something you pour you love into that in it's way gives that love back to you. It becomes a part of you, and cannot simply be discarded like a piece of trash.
If you read the article, they put down two lions in instead of transferring them to other zoos because they were worried about genetics and breeding. Crazy! I mean, I get it. You can’t have inbreeding, but that’s when you transfer the animals to other zoos and you pay the money for that.
With all the accepted facts of yesteryear being proven to have been nothing more than a myth, I would not find it startling to find that the whole "Inbreeding" thing is greatly overblown.
Why don't they start feeding them liberals? Assisted suicide for trannys? "OH you decided chopping off your penis was a bad idea? Here jump in the crocodile pit"
Read the whole thing, people. They are not asking people to give them live pets they'd then give, still alive, to the zoo predators, they are promising to do the euthanizing part at the zoo and then use the dead pets as food to the predators.
Still something a lot of pet owners will not want to do, but pretty far from the impression that headline gives.
I'd say most of you allowed yourselves to be played here. Just wonder how often this happens, you just read the headline, not the actual article. Especially since, while in this one the real deal is said in the first paragraph, pretty often that part is buried a lot deeper. MSM doesn't lie quite as often as they misdirect, using provocative headlines and then burying the actual meat somewhere far enough that most of their readers never manage to actually get to it.
...don't piss me off this close to bedtime...
May I quote you pup?
My blood pressure just shot out of the top of my head like a geyser! 😱🤬🤯
" May I quote you pup?"
...as you wish...
Pats head...
WTF?
Said no pet owner, ever.

You're still killing your PERFECTLY HEALTHY fucking PETS to be used as cheap meat for zoo animals they can't afford to feed.
They want you to MURDER YOUR HEALTHY PET
Nothing about that either. Presumably up to the owners of the pets to decide.

How do the people with the least common sense always end up in a position to make these decisions?

Stupidity is the one resource Humanity will never have a shortage of.
Yes but the animal world would not survive if they allowed the Stupid to lead. SO The USA can NOT allow it either.

How correct you are my fren.
A pet is not a mere object to be owned and discarded like a bottle cap, or a piece of lent. I pet whether a turtle, and hamster, a rabbit is something you pour you love into that in it's way gives that love back to you. It becomes a part of you, and cannot simply be discarded like a piece of trash.
I know people with snakes and lizards or fish who might go for that. But it's definitely a weird ask.
Let's see what the Greenlanders think, and ask them to pick a side.
I think this idea would work best if they threw in murders and pedofiles in the cages. Justice served.
If you read the article, they put down two lions in instead of transferring them to other zoos because they were worried about genetics and breeding. Crazy! I mean, I get it. You can’t have inbreeding, but that’s when you transfer the animals to other zoos and you pay the money for that.

Can't they just feed 3rd world shithole rapist "refugees" to the animals?
I cannot imagine a human being actually thinks this is a good thing to suggest...
Why don't they start feeding them liberals? Assisted suicide for trannys? "OH you decided chopping off your penis was a bad idea? Here jump in the crocodile pit"
Hey, Contemptible Danish Assholes: If you can't feed yur zoo animals, why don't you just release them back into the wild?
On the other hand, you could donate your own foul bodies as food for the zoo animals, thus solving two problems at once.
Before i read the article, i'm going to guess the animals will be put to sleep before being eaten.
Edit: yes it says they'll be euthanized. Thankfully they're not complete psychos
So chemically killing something to feed it to another creature, yeah that sounds like a good idea.
What do you think they currently feed lions in zoos?
Good Lord. That's insane.
Cut the all the fat in your gov’t and purchase the zoo animal food
I believe it is only small "pets" like rabbits and guinea pigs, not dogs and cats
For the moment. If ever there was a place for a slippery slope argument, this is it.
Next: The High Cost of Burial in Denmark: A Final Solution?
Actually they have always practiced this. They say no predators like dogs an cats, as the zoo predators would reject them.
Read the whole thing, people. They are not asking people to give them live pets they'd then give, still alive, to the zoo predators, they are promising to do the euthanizing part at the zoo and then use the dead pets as food to the predators.
