"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.
I dont see any problem? I love my dog and i hope he wont die anytime soon. But what difference it does make if i pay 200€ to have him euthanased and cremated or have him euthnased and feed to the tiger for free?
I even asked from him and he seemed okay with it. Wagged his tail and everything.
Hell, i would gladly have my body fed to the tiger, rather than have some crook selling my family some 8000€ coffing that they see me in once.
I guess the key difference here is they specifically want healthy animals that might have otherwise been able to have been rehoused. So it’s not like when you have to put your dog down at the end if it’s life, it’s like if it had a couple good years left but you needed to move and couldn’t take him with you.
But they’re not taking dogs fwiw. Article just says chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. As well as maybe horses in the right circumstances.
I think it’d be pretty wild for anyone who eats meat themselves to criticize the practice of feeding a chicken to a lion. The vegans I can’t speak for but I think they would probably take issue way higher in the chain than this, such as keeping the predator animals in captivity for our amusement in the first place.
Either way I think it’s waaaaay overkill to suggest someone donating their pet rodent to a zoo shouldn’t be allowed to have children lol. The pet store you get them from feeds rodents to the snakes.
In my experience it’s usually the whole factory farming thing that bothers them the most. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone complain about someone else having a pet dog, unless they weren’t taking care of it or something.
Would be interested to see a poll on how they feel about ethically raised livestock, if that’s more acceptable than most of the stuff you find in a supermarket.
If it were just disposing of dead animals I would have… not zero but close to zero complaints. Mostly related to how they can be sure said animal is “fresh” enough and won’t contain any pathogens.
But this is very specifically live animals that will be euthanized before being fed to Simba.

I think you’re on to something. How about a tiger instead of the chair? I mean we could let the convict get a token weapon and do it in a way where people could observe it.
And btw coffins are a scam, somebody should set up a second hand coffin service. Your body gets roled away in a nice looking coffin, and off you go to the crematorium where you’re dumped into the fire and the coffin goes on to the next deado.
If they have money to buy a dog, they have money to buy a lunch.
If they dont have money and they were desperate enough to want to eat my dogs corpse i would probably buy them a lunch.
But if i can donate my dog to something usefull, like for medical training/research or i dont know. Fertilizer to grow tomatos for starving children i would.

That bit about vegans raises some interesting thoughts regarding veganism and pet keeping. As with most things, I’m sure it depends on the individual.

I knew one couple who were vegan except for occasionally buying meat at the farmers market from a farm where they knew the animals were treated well.
Yeah.

Would you sell your dog to a person so they could eat it?
No.
If they have money to buy a dog, they have money to buy a lunch.

So is 1 million dollars for someone to eat your dog too low or would you go lower?
