奥尔堡动物园寻求公众捐赠小宠物和马匹以饲养食肉动物
摘要
丹麦奥尔堡动物园正在请求公众捐赠小宠物和马匹，以为其圈养的食肉动物提供自然饮食。
丹麦北部的奥尔堡动物园宣布了一项计划，邀请公众捐赠小宠物和马匹作为其圈养食肉动物的食物。动物园强调其致力于复制自然食物链，以促进动物福利和专业诚信。
“在动物园中，我们有责任模仿动物的自然食物链——这既关系到动物福利，也关系到专业诚信，”奥尔堡动物园在社交媒体帖子中表示。
动物园具体指出，鸡、兔子和豚鼠是欧洲猞猁等捕食者饮食的重要组成部分，这些捕食者需要类似其自然狩猎模式的完整猎物。捐赠的动物必须健康，由训练有素的工作人员人道安乐死后用作饲料。这一做法旨在防止浪费，确保捕食者的自然行为、营养和福祉。
兔子、豚鼠和鸡的捐赠时间为工作日的上午10点至下午1点，每次限捐四只。对于较大数量的捐赠，动物园要求提前安排。此外，动物园接受符合特定条件的马匹捐赠：马匹在过去30天内不得接受过疾病治疗，必须符合尺寸限制，并持有马匹护照。马匹捐赠者可能根据动物价值获得税收减免资格。
动物园指出，其需求随季节变化，捐赠可能存在等待名单。感兴趣者被鼓励联系动物园以获取更多信息。
