The zoo states that the effort supports “animal welfare and professional integrity”, and assures that any donated pets will be “gently euthanasia” by trained employees.“If you have a healthy animal that needs to be removed for various reasons, feel free to donate us,” the post said.The zoo lists rabbits, guinea pigs, horses and chickens as an example of suitable donations. Once euthanasia, animals will be used as fodder for zoo carnivores.“In this way, nothing goes to waste-and we ensure the natural behavior, nutrition and well-being of our predators,” the zoo claimed.The post is with a picture of a wildcat that shows its teeth open with your mouth.
