So I’ve had this idea for a while that perhaps in order for a wildlife institution to use the label of “ZOO” they would have to be an actual functioning zoological research or education center, having its main focus on the animals themselves. Many zoos and aquariums serve as…
Another self-righteous post from someone who believes they should be able to stand in judgement over how other people own, interact with, and love their animals. “Display” does not equal de facto exploitation. Even non-profit organizations have to be profitable enough to cover their operating expenses. It is not necessarily evil for animals to have a job which contributes money to their own support. Can we not work to make all these places into safe places for animals rather than getting out the old let’s-ban-everything-that-makes-us-personally-uncomfortable mentality? Love and compassion for animals is great. Let’s try to extend it to our fellow people too.
All right, I’m going to word this as nicely as possible.
Animals, aside from domesticated animals such as dogs and horses, do not understand the concept of ‘’work’’. That is not only a human concept, it is also a capitalist concept so there are literally entire societies in this world that doesn’t even know of the existence of ‘’working to cover live expenses’’.
The people that are against these facilities (that yes, are exploitative) are not mindless animal rights protestors self pretentious vegans. They know exactly what they’re protesting against. Especially wild animals do not understand the completely human concept of work, and to make them act against their instincts to cover ‘’life expenses’’- something that they don’t understand either- is completely cruel, too. there are endangered species in the ownership of these circusses, species that are solitary apex predators. in what world is putting a species that evolved to keep the balance of the prey numbers in its area in a completely different environment that enforces fear and uses it to ‘’train’’ said species humane i wonder?
