00:00A zoo in Denmark has divided public opinion by asking pet owners for donations of small animals to feed its predators.
00:10Our Bog Zoo is asking specifically for guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens and even horses as possible donations.
00:19It says it's trying to mimic the natural food chain of predators housed in the zoo for the sake of animal welfare.
00:28The practice, the zoo says, is nothing new.
00:34The zoo's practice however has gained international media attention after it was publicized on a Facebook post.
00:40Some social media users called the appeal a sick invention.
00:46Others stood up for the practice with one user saying they donated a horse a few years ago.
00:52The zoo says that the animals donated are gently euthanized before being used as fodder.
00:58This way, nothing goes to waste, it said in the post.
