What did they hope to achieve?
“What did they hope to achieve?”
A profit.
To feed a famished underfed tiger with the lest expensive, least exotic meat they could afford, probably.
Though they could at least have had the decency to kill the donkey first to minimize its suffering.
They said we’re not buying any more damn dunkeys to feed those tigers until we use up the perfectly good dunkeys we have over in the equine exhibit. And we’ll show you how that’s done.
Or...
How do we save money?
Get rid of the damn dunkey exhibit.
What do we do with the dunkeys?
Feed’em to the tigers, yeah!
