A zoo in Denmark asked pet owners to donate their unwanted guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens to feed the predators to "imitate the natural food chain of the animals."

The zoo explained in a Facebook post that “if you have a healthy animal that needs to be given away for various reasons, feel free to donate it to us.”

The organisation suggested chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs make up an 'important' part of the diet of its predators, which include tigers, lions and lemurs.
