"Unwanted pet" omg
Are neighbors' preschoolers accepted?
Only if they are healthy and no longer wanted.
Only if they've been ethically sourced and treated with care, up until the moment they're brought to the zoo to run until their demise by devouring at a fraction of their lifespan.
I read the title and was like, "oh, this is a very clever and funny vegan circlejerk type satire post, good stuff".
Then I clicked the link and realized it's real, and laughed even harder. It's so funny on so many levels, from the zoo not realizing (or not caring) that the phrase "unwanted pets" is going to majorly rustle carnist feathers, to the backlash the zoo is going to get from people who themselves happily eat animal corpses, to the people who are mad at the zoo for this and not because zoos are horrendous for the animals who live in them, to the zoo making sure to talk at length about how painlessly all the donated animals will be euthanized.
Very good stuff!
I often advocate that non-vegan cat food should be made from cats. You cannot "rescue" cats. You only create a menace to other creatures.
