"We have a responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals — in terms of both animal welfare and professional integrity," Aalborg Zoo says.
I think there should be several steps before euthanising healthy animals. Put it up for adoption, a no kill shelter, let it go stray, a timed kill shelter, etc
This is okay but why are they asking for pets, that is my problem. They can source these things themselves.
They’re not telling people to give up wanted pets. They’re saying if you’re putting your pet to sleep anyway, give it to them.

In that case, the same logic applies when the shelter is full / has to make space for new animals. Trust me, there’s never enough room in a shelter.
Congrats, you’ve either condemned it to a more painful death or increased the workload of the local animal control.
