"We have a responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals — in terms of both animal welfare and professional integrity," Aalborg Zoo says.
I gotta ask how. Usual protocol is benzo/barbiturate overdose followed by potassium chloride shot. But the benzos/barbiturates are contraindicated for the fact that they’re feeding them to other animals and potassium alone is torture even if eating something killed by it is fine. That generally leaves stunner and exsanguiation or shooting them.

Bolt gun and exsanguination is pretty common in abattoirs, right? I’d guess it’s probably the same here
For chickens you can shove them into a modified construction cone and then cut off their head
And then chase the body around.
That is the point of the cone. It calms them down so that they don’t panic. Use a very sharp blade so that the head gets cut off in one blow.
The running around is a result of them panicking. When they are calm they don’t do that and there is way less blood.
