Would you rather see an animal Extinct than be in a zoo ?

Honestly how many "sick/motherless" animals do you see coming into zoos?

Do you think every animal in a zoo is taken out of its natural habitat? might be true if you think maybe a bear or lions natural habitat is the circus or a chimpanzees natural habitat is an unfit owners house with a cage to sleep in.

how bad do zoos actually look now that you think about it?

if i was fed and provided what i needed, i wouldnt mind it. i would get to learn about their species


the fact that your right to choose was being completely subverted due to your weakness/lack of intelligence wouldn't bother you at all?

go on.

i wouldnt mind having no responsibility and getting everything i needed.

and just because i was kidnapped doesnt mean i have a lack of intelligence relative to them.

what. you want the truth then?
alone i would mind it
however, most likely if i was abducted, if they were intelligent at all, they would take a few other humans.

im sorry but im not high maintenance. i dont require a lot of things to be happy. give me food, drink, and a friend and ill be set.

The animals that are actually born and raised in the zoo consider it their home and they're treated well for the most part so I don't think it's unethical in that case.

i have a fairly local zoo that's made a lot of steps towards better privacy for the animals, better living conditions, and bigger "natural" habitats, but they still have some of the animals commit suicide and shit :D


lol's at this really?

I think it's completely unethical. How would you like living in a cage? The only thing I can think of as a human equivalent would be being forced to spend your whole life in a hotel room. Even with VOD, room service, and every other essential amenity, you would never have that sense of freedom that every living creature deserves. Thousands of people have given their lives for freedom, so its obviously something to be highly valued. Wild animals belong IN THE WILD! If you want to see them, go on a hike or a fucking safari.

If I didn't have the intelligence to know that I was being contained in an artificial environment, then how it could it possibly annoy me?

I stand by Ethical. Zoos do more good than bad.

Most animals in zoo's where never "WILD" animals. They were born in the zoo.
