my comment was tongue-in-cheek above, but this is the truth. I get that some animals in Zoos couldn't survive on their own in the wild, but they don't deserve concrete exhibits
Why not? Zoos make a lot of people happy, as long as the animals are cared for, what is the problem?
Oh, god, that's the angle that people are going to take, isn't it. Sigh.
I think Aquariums are fine to the extent that the animals aren't suspected to be sentient (whales and dolphins) or clearly need to live in the pelagic zone and have no place being on display (also includes whales and dolphins). Zoos need to be converted to animal sanctuaries. I believe there is merit to kids seeing animals first hand in a safe environment.
At the end of the day we're enclosing animals from around the world in a foreign/artificial environment for our own amusement.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy zoos still because I enjoy seeing the animals. And I think it's important for people to see these animals up close in order to appreciate them and their environments. I just think in 200 years we'll look back on our zoos in disgust.
Yes, while the exhibitory element of zoos is what keeps the lights on, zoos and animal sanctuaries play a critical role in the conservation and research of animals well beyond the "cages."
Expected this to be the first reply. Still, not disappointed.
I completely lost it at that!The left wants nothing more than to destroy Gotham City.
Glad to see she's keeping in touch with these fun little experiences, it's lovely to see!
That's a bit different from the usual far white comments she gets on there.

He is not wrong. To be clear, I would not tweet this at her, let her have a rest day at a zoo.
I'm just fantasizing how Trump sees this, declares "fuck her and her penguin, I will make friends with a lion, an animal befitting to me!" and then get's mauled to death as he enters the lions compound without any safety measures...

Got to love the Twitter purity test police
Zoos are in moral gray area (asumming the animals are treated well). They do serve a purpose beyond pure entertainment.
On the other hand removing them from thier natual homes (without them being at the risk of extinction or similar situiations) is kind of messed up.
Plus I'm sure there are some lazy fuckin bears out there who love chilling all day
They can just read the twitter comments....oh wait, conservatives don't give a damn about wildlife.
AOC could release a vid of her eating cereal and it would trigger those shit stains.
