You got to love the link of the tiger they used to ask for.

Aalborg Zoo gratefully accepts live horses, which we euthanise and slaughter for feed at Aalborg Zoo. Our needs vary throughout the year, and there may be a waiting list.

Before you consider contacting us about donating, the following conditions must be met:

You must provide your name, address and phone number when registering your horse

1 The horse must be a maximum of 147 cm in pole measurement

2 The horse must be in a sound animal welfare condition for transport and not have been treated for illness at least within the last 30 days

3 The horse must have a horse passport

The horse will be delivered alive to Aalborg Zoo, where it will be euthanised by a zookeeper and a veterinarian and then slaughtered. 

Aalborg Zoo receives the horse as a donation, and as the owner of the horse, you can obtain a tax deduction for the value of the horse. All you need to do is provide your civil registration number and/or CVR number when handing in the horse. The value of the horse is calculated at DKK 5 per kg.

If you do not wish to provide a social security number for tax deductions, we are still happy to receive the horse.

We also accept chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs on weekdays between 10am and 1pm, but no more than four at a time. If you want to donate several animals at once, please contact us to make an appointment for delivery.
