its insane to have any basic awareness of capitalism being bad but to be fully convinced that zoos are helpful + beneficial for animals, as individuals or in terms of species as a whole. like ok i guess this one industry has leaders motivated by longsighted compassion.

same exact thing w farms n abbatoirs truly insane to think this one industry wont have issues w the unilateral power handed to workers over beings w literally no avenue for recourse. but lets talk more abt how nurses are bullies

#the vast majority of animals in zoos are not members of endangered species.#every single zoo in the US + europe has to regularly sedate animals + put them on antidepressants #the idea tht zoos benefit conservation efforts is nonsense given tht there is never any intention of reintroducing animals in2 the wild #so therefore wild populations cant benefit even if critically endangered species are kept in zoos #many zoos euthanize healthy young animals if they stop being commercially viable #none of these things are secrets
