Zoos of the future may have no animals
Zoos of the future may have no animals
Zoos are struggling as the sentiment against captive animals increases. Some are turning the zoos into information centres without animals.

Do you own any pets? What are your thoughts on keeping them inside your dwelling for your amusement?
-
Keeping animals that have been bred into domestication over thousands of years is different than catching a wild animal and putting it in an enclosure. Corgies don't wish they were out in the wild hunting deer, they want people to pet them. Tigers don't want to be pet no matter how nice the magicians are.

It's not amusement. It's company. They become part of the family and are treated as such. It's far from the treatment animals get in zoos and they're fam from being wild animals, too. As someone else pointed out, these are domesticated animals.

"removed snark" - still full of it.

They are enjoy mutually exclusive my guy. Don't blame it on the autism.

I really don't like when people use autism as an excuse for shitty behavior, or as a pejorative. It's getting really old really fast and it's unfair to people who actually are autistic.
Please, don't use that word like that again.

If that's true, I'm sorry this happened to you.
But allow me to have some doubts about the veracity of your statement, especially since your account is only 6 days old and any anonymous stranger can say anything about themselves on the internet.
And wether you are autistic or not or if it affects you or not, using autism pejoratively like this is a trend that needs to end. (Like calling someone/something gay as a pejorative before.) I was only asking nicely to please not use it as a pejorative again. But that's all up to you.

Thank you. I appreciate it :)
And again, if what you say is true, and you did grow up with all these issues, I do sympathise with you.
Take care!

If I were the last human, I would rather die than be kept captive and on display by aliens.
See how you're taking your own preference and assuming that for other creatures?

That's pretty rhetoric, but what does 'freedom' actually mean here? Does a cockroach care that it's in a 100 gallon glass tank or a dumpster in a city? It's easy to espouse 'freedom' but are you really suggesting feral cats are living better, happier lives than housecats?
As you point out, even theoretically intelligent humans are perfectly happy to throw 'freedom' out the window for all kinds of reasons. This black and white attitude is just naive.

Back at you supporting zoos.
