Swiss zoos are reportedly accepting unwanted pets which are killed and then fed to large carnivores such as tigers.

据报道，瑞士动物园接受被抛弃的宠物，将它们杀死后投喂给老虎等大型食肉动物。

At the Zurich Zoo, rabbits, guinea pigs and rats are given to the carnivores to eat, according to Swiss local media.

据瑞士当地媒体报道，苏黎世动物园将兔子、天竺鼠、老鼠当做肉食动物的口粮。

Zoo director Alex Ruebel, who revealed this happens around six times a year, said: 'The guinea pigs or rabbits are killed by a veterinarian, then fed to the tigers, lions and snow leopards.'

动物园园长艾利克斯•鲁培尔透露，这种事情每年都会发生6次左右，“先由兽医将豚鼠或兔子杀死，然后喂给老虎、狮子或雪豹”。

The zoo director also said that mice are given to the zoo's owls. Other animals such as dogs are however denied by the zoo.

鲁培尔还表示，动物园会把老鼠喂给猫头鹰，但拒绝狗狗等其他动物。

According to Ruebel, the pets are not cut up into pieces but are fed in their entirety to the zoo's carnivores.

据鲁培尔介绍，这些宠物不会被切碎，而是整只投喂给园内的肉食动物。

He said: 'The reason for this is that we want to show what is natural. And carnivores eat meat together with the entrails.'
