"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." [Cite web

] 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 October 21. [Cite web
