Will they accept corrupt politians or CEOs from other nations?
“They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there”
Would they accept donatinons of politicians?
Or billionaires
Do they take landlords?
No, only some species of sealords.
Will they take edgelords?
sadly the big three stopped making half bloods
They mention animals that are frequently raised as livestock. Chickens, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs are all mentioned. Horse is the only unusual one to me. I’d find it much more upsetting if they were accepting cats and dogs.
-Coincidentally I watched two YT videos yesterday. One was about some homesteaders that were dispatching chickens they raised for meat to share with their village. The other was about some small-time farmers that raise guinea-pigs (among other things) that were used for lawn-mowing. The farmers just anounced in that video that the guinea pigs will also be used as a food source.
Horse is not unusual as meat in the Netherlands.
It wasn’t unusual in the UK either.
France as well
This tracks. I got to spend some time on a Dutch boat during some training in Norway (I’m from the US) and each meal came with an assortment of meat, and there was one that was like a 10" tube of meat that we called horse cock, because the Dutch sailors mentioned some of the meat was horse, and so it was obviously the 10" tube.
Horse is common dog food in Australia
Horse is common dog food
FTFY. 🤓
They eat horse in Korea as well.
few parts of japan
What about unwanted siblings or older parents?
Too modest to ask
Showing this to my cats to see if they stop scratching the sofa
Put a blanket over the place that she scratches and/or a scratching pole somewhere near the sofa.
Generally the more scratching poles (or carpets on the floor) they have to scratch, the less they mess with furniture.
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.
Guinea pigs got domesticated for food, and are still a common dish in South America. I am pretty sure rabbits got bred for food as well in Europe
There are people raising rabbits for meat even today.
i rather not search about the topic, so i am going to trust you, i’m afraid of getting stuck in a rabbit hole
You don’t even carrot all to find out?
It is stocked in normal supermarkets in France and Switzerland (at least, surely others too).
I had rabbit when I was in France and it was delicious!
My little cousin found this out at the last family gathering as he enthusiastically showed me a picture of his pet rabbits. Growing up on a farm, my first question was if they were pet or food. His face fell and he asked me if people really eat rabbits. Whoops!
Where are you from that it’s weird to you? I wasn’t aware it was uncommon.
And they are delicious.
Believe there are places that raise capybara for food as well.
I’ve had rabbit a few times in Germany. Quite lean but not bad at all. It’s not that common these days, you can easily avoid it but it’s not hard to find either. There are many hobbyist breeders who sell their rabbits either alive or butchered. I think it’s more common in Eastern Germany though because a lot of people there used to keep rabbits back when meat was rare and traded them with the government.
My grandfather tolled me, you could sell a living rabbit for butchering, go to the butcher to buy a dead rabbit and make a profit in the process.
Yup, they needed as much meat as they could get so they made it profitable. They didn’t let people buy back everything though, one or two carcasses per person. Most people traded them in for chickens because that meant more food.
Fine. Who the fuck is eating chickens? Like the birds!?
That seems to be almost exclusive to the Peruvian Andes region, I’m from Brazil and never hear of anyone eating a Guinea Pig there, or even in Argentina and Uruguay.
Sounds like you are missing out. I’d try it.
The idea is not if it is worth trying but that it’s not widespread in south America.
Can confirm that it’s not found in supermarkets in Montevideo nor Buenos Aires.
in europe? everywhere. Watch roger and me, micheal moores original documentary, and see a lady skinning them.
Afaik humans eat all of those animals.
We eat everything, even ourselves. Just need a little seasoning
I’d say we eat almost everything. Aside from deep sea creatures, which are basically impossible to harvest for food, we tend to stay away from heavy poisonous species like the blue ringed octopus, poison arrow frogs, cone snails. But other than those pretty much anything goes.
I agree with you, but just to be that person:
To know something is poisonous, somebody had to have eaten it at least once.
Now do the math on how many people had to eat blowfish to figure out how to safely prepare it.
Unless we can make a delicacy out of it.
Fugu anyone?
Some things surely also just taste like shit, so we don’t eat those either. I’m just assuming, but, I can imagine.
What about giraffes?
euthanized by a zookeeper
I gotta ask how. Usual protocol is benzo/barbiturate overdose followed by potassium chloride shot. But the benzos/barbiturates are contraindicated for the fact that they’re feeding them to other animals and potassium alone is torture even if eating something killed by it is fine. That generally leaves stunner and exsanguiation or shooting them.
Bolt gun and exsanguination is pretty common in abattoirs, right? I’d guess it’s probably the same here
For chickens you can shove them into a modified construction cone and then cut off their head
And then chase the body around.
That is the point of the cone. It calms them down so that they don’t panic. Use a very sharp blade so that the head gets cut off in one blow.
The running around is a result of them panicking. When they are calm they don’t do that and there is way less blood.
Sorry, I was mainly just making a joke about the headless chicken
half? which ones do you think we don’t eat?
They probably didn’t know guinea pigs were domesticated for food, and neglected horses

SMALL PETS?
YES. OR HORSES.
man of culture I see
ok i have no idea what you’re talking about
you’re not part of the same nieche then
I’ll go ahead and add “Eaten by apex predator” to the list of insane hamster deaths.
I’d like to subscribe to your “Insane Hamster Deaths” newsletter.
I’m just morbidly curious about what sort of situations the little guys might find themselves in.
Might also ask yourself how OP has been conveniently present for so many hamster deaths…
OP is the apex predator he mentioned
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…
The tiger got to eat and they need a meat based diet.
Option A: Feed them animals that have to bee euthanized and die either way.
Option B: Bury the animal that had to be euthanized and on top of it kill another animal so the tiger can eat.
Option A means less animals killed. Now of course we can talk about whether zoos should exist in the first place, for which there are good arguments that they should not.
bee euthanasia
Hey, at least it’s a natural way to go, huh.
Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder ‘why, why, why?’ Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand
One of my favorite lines of all time.
Fluffy meowed and meowed, but didn’t get to eat. So, Fluffy scratched and clawed, but then got turned to meat.
hee, that was fresh.
Right in the article it says “The animals are gently euthanized by trained staff”
They are tossed in to be torn appart. Iirc predators love to go balls first if the prey does not mean too much effort for them.
No where does it say that in the article, and twice it says they are euthanized beforehand, so I’m just going to have to assume you are making things up and spreading lies for your own agenda unless you can prove otherwise
Can’t not be serious even for a moment with these folks.
“Let’s go to zoo, grandma.”
Boss, I want to invite the whole C-Suite to the zoo for a fun time!
can I send an unwanted child?
Eric?
No, the other one
The other Eric?
Fuckin’ Kevin. Again.
Only if at least one of the parents was a horse
Mom?
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.
Growing up on a farm we killed, plucked and processed a few hundred chickens each year. Kept us and several families in town fed with good quality meat over the winter.
It’s not a bad thing to be that close to your own food production.
These were laying hens though. They would have been better off as zoo food than put in my freezer as crab bait. I don’t think it’s bad to be close to food production. I’m a farmer.
15 laying hens hardly take up much space for laying. Surprising they didn’t just rig up a quick place for them to find cover and let them wander the yard until they figured out a more permanent solution. With hurricane debris around, repurposing wood that’s around shouldn’t be hard to find. Hell some people I’ve seen just throw the wood they bought to cover windows down by the road for trash to pick up. They could have found a downed tree and an ax and they would have hadenough to build a quick structure. Chickens don’t ask for much
For one thing, you were probably really sure to keep the meat from being contaminated with animal feces, or from eating obviously sick animals.
You don’t want to eat chickens that are older or that are unhealthy
Define unhealthy, we definitely dont eat sick birds, but before we knew how much to feed them, we had a LOT of chicken lard. What’s wrong with eating older birds? They’re chewy, sure, but they can still make a tasty soup.
chicken lard
Schmaltz.
Lard is rendered pork fat, chicken fat is called schmaltz.
