The zoo said it accepts donated rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., but no more than four at a time. It also accepts horses for feeding its animals, which it says on its website are euthanized by a zookeeper and a veterinarian.

Gotta eat. Hell, humans eat half those animals too.

Guinea pigs got domesticated for food, and are still a common dish in South America. I am pretty sure rabbits got bred for food as well in Europe
