"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
