    Why do you have to kill animals to feed your carnivores? Can’t you just buy meat?

      lolol did somebody actually say that?? Pretty funny either way…

      from what I recall though, the zoo prefers small animals (think rats, hamsters, rabbits) because they better resembles the prey the zoo animals would normally eat. And yes they do euthanise them first!

      If lab grown meat becomes readily available and reasonably cheap, that may become a reasonable argument.
