"We hope that the Danes will welcome the new products. Zoo wants to show how exotic animals can be used for anything other than Sunday outings and breeding programs. And we are very pleased that nothing goes to waste when these noble beasts make wooden shoes. " (edit: This translation is hilarious. It's a very literal translation of "to set aside one's clogs", which is an idiom for dying.)
