Feed the Animals is the fourth album by Girl Talk (Gregg Gillis), released on Illegal Art in 2008. It is composed almost entirely of samples taken from other artists' songs, plus minor original instrumentation by Girl Talk.

As of June 19, record label Illegal Art is selling the album in a similar fashion to how Radiohead sold their 2007 release In Rainbows – a "pay-what-you-like" system. Gillis states that the goal behind this is to "make it easier for people to get their hands on the music, which is my number one priority."[3] Users choosing to pay $0.00 have to explain why, selecting "I may donate later"; "I can't afford to pay"; "I don't really like Girl Talk"; "I don't believe in paying for music"; "I have already purchased this album"; "I don't value music made from sampling"; "I am part of the press, radio, or music industry", or "other reasons".[4] However, those who pay $5 can access FLAC files and a one-file seamless mp3 version of the album. For $10, users can obtain a physical copy of the album, once it is released. Originally, the physical copy was subject to be released on September 23. However, Gillis has stated that there were "manufacturing issues" involving the production of the CDs, forcing the date to be pushed back to November 11.[5] [6]
