This is all sorts of fucked up. First, why do people get pets if they are becoming unwanted. Second, why does the zoo need to ask the public for animals. Third, wtf.

Fuck zoos and aquariums.

The zoo said it accepts donated rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., but no more than four at a time. It also accepts horses for feeding its animals, which it says on its website are euthanized by a zookeeper and a veterinarian.

Gotta eat. Hell, humans eat half those animals too.

I'll go ahead and add "Eaten by apex predator" to the list of insane hamster deaths.

"Let's go to zoo, grandma."

I like this. Maybe it sounds bad but when I was a kid a neighbor paid me to kill all his chickens after a hurricane because it was hot and their chicken house was gone. I would have much rather he drove them to the zoo to be fed to the animals there.

It is worth noting that the article says they are euthanizing the animals before feeding. So it's not like they take a terrified pet and let the tiger rip it apart alive.

Still, not a fan of this...
