奥尔堡动物园征集弃养宠物喂食食肉动物
摘要
丹麦奥尔堡动物园呼吁公众捐赠弃养的小型宠物和马匹，用于喂养其食肉动物，旨在模拟自然的捕食行为。
丹麦北部的奥尔堡动物园发布公开呼吁，征集弃养的小型宠物，包括豚鼠、兔子、鸡以及小型马匹，用作其食肉动物的食物。动物园表示，此举旨在复制自然食物链，促进捕食动物的健康和福祉。
动物园在最近的一则社交媒体发布中解释称，这些捐赠有助于确保捕食动物的自然行为、营养和福祉。捐赠的动物将在受过训练的工作人员人道安乐死后用作饲料。
副主任皮娅·尼尔森指出，用较小的家畜喂养食肉动物是奥尔堡动物园长期以来的做法，在丹麦也很常见。她强调，为捕食动物提供带毛皮和骨头的肉类，以提供自然饮食的重要性。
该动物园的请求在网络上引发了争议，一些人对将宠物用作饲料表示担忧，而另一些人则支持维持自然喂养习惯的努力。
奥尔堡动物园饲养着多种食肉动物，包括欧洲猞猁、亚洲狮和苏门答腊虎。
