Feed a baby lion with your Christmas leftovers
14 Dec 2016 / Grainne Cuffe
Chessington World of Adventures is inviting guests to donate their leftover Christmas meat to new resident lion cubs.
The ‘turkey drop’ service will not only help feel the baby lions-
three new female Asiatic lion cubs born just this autumn- but will help
reduce waste over the festive season.
More than 4 million Christmas dinners are thrown away each year- the equivalent of 263,000 turkeys and 17.2 million Brussels sprouts, according to research by Unilever.
Chessington ‘Turkey Drop’ Executive, Oli Whiteway, said: "Our three new lion cubs are just developing a taste for meat and what better way to reduce Christmas wastage than giving leftover turkey to our cubs.
“The festive season tends to be a period of over-indulgence and we want to make sure no uncooked meat goes to waste.
“If you have any turkey leftovers this Christmas make sure you get in touch."
For readers who would like to partake in the Turkey Drop please email: turkey.drop@chessington.co.uk
