Ethical, in the sense of preserving the vast variation of nature, and particularly preservation of the species.

Unethical towards individual members of the species.


Utilitarianistically, ethical.

*Dont remember what was anti-utilitarianism called*, unethical.


Perfect, End thread:)

It's completely understandable that the hippie fucks on this website are gonna start crying about how unethical it is to "keep the poor little animals pent up". The truth is zoos

a) provide largely excellent care to the animals (assuming its not a shitty little hell hole).
b)preserve animals that would otherwise be wiped off the face of the earth.

and

c) don't actually depress animals to any extent. Most animals are NOT like us. They don't think like us, they don't have the same kind of conscience as us, and they certainly don't give a shit if their food is warm or cold. They just want territory, mating, food, and shelter.

Read the Life of Pi. It explains this all much better.

Animals don't have rights.

Even still a zoo is so much better than a slaughter house so those elephants and monkeys should be happy people developed a taste for pig and cow instead of them.

But, in a perfect world I would play with all the wild animals in a vast forest of wonders :D except for cows I eat them :]
