a natural solution. Extremely natural. Just like it happens in nature when such critters encounter pets.
The international press misleadingly reporting on this and people getting outraged by the misleading reporting is a very interesting phenomenon to watch.
It's the good old "But I want to be upset!" - enhanced by our modern media.
What is misleading?

I don't see anything wrong with that article either.
Wasn't referring to the article, was referring to the comments in the discussion. Read them and you'll see where the misleading part lies.
Right, but I was specifically asking about the misleadingly reporting by the press that the previous comment claimed was happening.
Of course there will be bad takes in a comment section. It's a comment section. That is a given.
I'd say it's mostly the headline being clickbait again. It gives the impression the zoo wants people to give up their loved pets, and it makes people get enraged over puppies and kittens when they're actually talking about rabbits and guinea pigs
What's their plan after they run out of pets?
if you run out of free meat, then you must resume buying meat.
A modern European country will never run out of unwanted pets.
...I mean, Denmark still has people, they're basically made out of meat.
Need to find the Danish billionaires.
people, they're basically made out of meat.
That does not originate from their pets.

thats what shelters are for. probably going to source free meat from overcrowded shelters.
Iโm speechless. Utterly speechless.
Not just a sane solution, might also raise the bar for getting a small pet for the heck of it if it's not just going back to the shelter where they lived happily ever after (TM)

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
