Nalivai comments on Denmark zoo asks public to donate unwanted small pets or horses to feed captive predators

The comparable situation would be if your family grew tired of you, and some day decide to euthanize you and feed to tigers.
To which your answer is probably "well, I'm a human, you can't do this to me, I don't want to be killed against my will", and we will be back to square one.

No, you're making this about a humans ability to kill the animal, not what should be done with the dead carcus. The animals fate is already sealed, it's dead whether or not it goes to the zoo. Just means it is either thrown in a furnace or processed some other way.

If you don't like that humans get to choose whar happens to the animals, I understand.. but that's something that should be protested or brought separately to your politicians.

This is more like saying people shouldn't be able to elect to donate organs.

Edit: or rather your family deciding to donate those organs to a someone who needs them after you're dead.

It's a bit less about what happens to the body - that I don't give a shit about - it's about what happens to the live creature. It's not about accepting your dead pets, it's about accepting your alive pets to be killed, and I fundamentally don't like that, no matter will they kill them and fed the corpses to tigers, or burn it like kill shelters do.
