The zoo also said they will "accept chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., but no more than four at a time."

[submitted w/o opinion] Based on an actual conversation last night, son #3 would eagerly donate guinea pigs in support of this. I will note here that he would have to buy them first.

I wonder if they take human nominations?

I know a few people who would make excellent emu scat.

robotapertama•6mo ago
Amen to that. I would have said a “sizeable population” instead. If you cannot outrun a cassowary, you deserve to get eaten. Another reason why I refuse to believe that obesity is a genetically predisposed disease because that gene would have been eliminated a long time ago from our nomadic days by the sabre tooth lions and packs of hyenas.

Revolting. And proof that these animals don't belong in cages.

Zoos are an outdated entertainment concept. We used to show people in them, too. Circuses with live animals are equally cruel.

If you want to learn about animals, you can learn to help them without dragging them over here and putting them in cages.

Cartoxy•6mo ago
You say that like somehow nature will do better? Eaten alive on the Savannah. Zoo's have become much better over the years. People work at zoos typically because they love animals. The Danish zoo in particular is an excellent facility.

People just hate the facts of life without knowing they hate the facts of life, because we detatch and delude them from our everyday goings on.

The facts of life are just kind of shit. It's not fair. Its brutality indifferent. Thats all.

I think Zoos in developed western countries out perform nature on the basis of 'ethical concerns' any day of the week

dtagames•6mo ago
We used to keep people in cages[0] and show them, too.

If you love animals, don't do that to them.

Cartoxy•6mo ago
We would never condone dropping the elephant man into nature. If you like people you don't do that.

I've been a vegetarian for 12 years and it's not because i love animals, I'm just not into suffering and torture basically I suspecr most are probably assholes, there are lots of things don't like but I don't torture them, and atleast to me it's pretty clear that nature is careless about pretty much everything except your own, wether or not it's intended nature makes tortureeverywhre. It is literelly incapapble of giving a thought let alone care for you. Period.

Big cats are mandate carnivores. What is your solution.?? Atleast at the zoo the Euthanize the animals used for food. What would you prefer. Do you know the survival rate for tiger cubs in the wild. Perhaps you should do some reading. The zoo is comparitivlt a bastion of safety and considerations from people who actually think and care about things, leave it to the savannah. You get nothing and usually less then that. Eaten alive. Die of thirst. Disease. Sexed Fighting. And all the emotional truama that an animal can stomach, loss of loved one, abondment, fear, every kind of illness, congenital, contagious, psychological.. It's not just captivity in a zoo capable of mental truama. Pick your flavour but one has less nails in it. Enjoy the cats keep them happy. Minimize harm maximise good. Don't make more. That's all there is to do.

Not only are zoos wonderful ways for those who cannot afford a globe trotting safari to experience some of the wonders of nature close to home, they conduct hugely important preservation research and undergo essential conservation work. If not for zoos, it's likely that most, if not all, of the Panamanian golden frog, and many other amphibians in Central America would have been wiped out a few years ago by the Chytrid fungus.[1] This is just the first example I could think of, but zoos are an essential part of our exploration of nature, as well as our stewardship over it.

Complete nonsense.

They're animals caged for entertainment and don't even belong on this continent, much less in your cages, held out for ticket sales and surrounded by food and beverage and merch vendors.

sickofparadox•6mo ago
Are you going to address the part where I pointed out that zoos ensured the survival of multiple species that were on the verge of extinction in the wild? None of that could have happened without the ticket sales.
dtagames•6mo ago
I did. That's complete nonsense. It's an invented justification for animal abuse. You "saved" a tree frog so it's ok to cage big cats?

Wrong.
