farm animals too

After Halloween the donkeys get to enjoy the pumpkins - The Possum Patio

That pumpkin looks so small in his big ass mouth

As an ex-zookeeper, Yes, because of multiple reasons.

A) Seasonal vegetables are cheap and often donated B) Seasonal items increase social media activity. C) Seasonal items are typically in-line with natural cycles that align with wild animals.

There’s literally no downside. Financial benefit, social benefit, and benefits to the well-being for the animal.

Hell yes.

Enjoy that pumpkin, king.

The San Diego zoo is the best zoo I’ve ever been to. The animals there seem very well taken care of.
