Aalborg Zoo in northern Denmark is urging the public to donate small, unwanted pets — including rabbits, guinea pigs, and even horses — to be euthanized and used as food for its captive predators. The zoo says the effort is part of a broader strategy to replicate natural food chain behavior and maintain what it calls “animal welfare and professional integrity.”
In a move sparking outrage over government overreach, the city of Northglenn, Colorado, just outside Denver, will begin enforcing a sweeping new ordinance that limits pet ownership.
