In this episode, we dive into a controversial appeal from Aalborg Zoo in Denmark, where keepers publicly invited local pet owners to donate small animals — including chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs — to be humanely euthanized and fed to the zoo’s carnivores such as the European lynx. The zoo says the practice helps mimic natural diets and supports animal welfare, while critics view the policy as shocking and troubling. We unpack the reasoning behind the initiative, the reactions it has sparked around the world, and what this says about the challenges of caring for wild animals in captivity.
