I guess I'm the only one thinking that it's fucking disturbing.

I think that means you've been fortunate enough not to feel the need to turn a piece of fruit, bug, or rat into a cathartic feeling of peace or closure. The animal, fruit, or veggie would be given to the zoo creature anyways, and this raises funds to help conservation.

I'll happily name a carrot after my ex and watch it be fed to a giraffe.
