Hogle Zoo is an AZA accredited facility, opening up a new area 3 acre area called "Wild Utah" to feature various native Utah species. 3 of those animals are going to be orphaned cougar cubs that were rescued and unable to survive in the wild on their own.

Note that 2 of these cubs have shortened ears and tails because of frostbite. They were rescued in Nebraska where the weather conditions were severe, and again, these cubs were unequipped to handle it on their own.

This would be a very positive story about giving orphaned cubs a second chance at a good place where they will receive all the care that they need... or so you would think.

Instead, multiple people on the comments were asserting that they were just going to prisons, one even going so far as to say that it would've been better to just let them die.

Wonderful. Nothing says "I love animals" than explicitly saying that they're better off dead than at an accredited zoo. Again, you will note that 2 of the 3 were suffering things like frostbite when they were rescued. There is nothing humane about letting animals that are within your power to help die like that.

I cannot, and will never, understand the "logic" behind this kind of mindset. Yes, baby orphaned animals die in nature all the time. No, we cannot save them all. But for those we can help... why not help them? And why is a life well cared for at an accredited zoo somehow worse for them than suffering a slow and painful death from starvation and exposure?

These animals do not have the same concepts of freedom vs. prison like we do. All they knew was that their mother is gone, and they were cold and starving.

Yes, bad or less than ideal zoos exist. Hogle Zoo is not one of them. Zoos and aquariums are not universally prisons, and if you think that, then let me just ask... what kind of prisons have you been to!? Seriously, all of the animals I've had the privilege to work with eat better than I do, and are treated vastly better than human prisoners are. How privileged must you be to think that all zoos and prisons are equivalent to one another!

Here's the reality: the zoological industry is a complex, nuanced thing that is ever improving and expanding. We're not stuck in the 1970s like you are. Stop judging animal welfare based on vibes, and stop drinking the PETA, HSUS et al. kool aid, because they're lying to you.

Someone apparently blocked me for defending therian zoos on their hate post (figures), so anyways as long as you aren't offending you aren't a depraved fuck for an attraction out of your control. Fuck that shit; the hate towards zoos in the therian community is shameful.

I will put my foot down and say I would rather stand with zoos than beings who shit on a real part of their community for, again, an attraction they cannot control. Attraction DOES NOT EQUAL action. I do not care if it's a hot take to say 'oh hey let's not call beings disgusting for existing, that's textbook bigotry'. I will not shut up about this.

Symphorophilia; A Paragraph

Everything you and I do could start chaos, lighting a match for a candle could cause a church to burn down. Driving your car could cause the end of a freeway. Burning churches and bleeding bodies. what more could you ask for in life? Watching the flames engulf the building meant for God would fill me with a tingling feeling of not only satisfaction but also arousal. Watching a car drive at 70 MPH before swerving and crashing into the oncoming traffic on the other side, the thick black smoke from the cars filling the air and my lungs. If only these things could actually happen to me.

‘no animal wants to be in captivity 🤣’ freedom is a human concept i am absolutely begging people to stop applying human concepts and thoughts and emotions to animals because this does more harm than good

i’m not going to explain why i like zoos but all i am going to say is that if you do not have any actual education on animal welfare and/or husbandry or if you’ve never actually worked first hand in animal care then i’m frankly just not listening to your opinions on this topic

#zoos #anti zoo people dni #fully aware that there are zoos with poor standards #that’s why accreditation and legislation exists #i obviously wouldn’t go to a zoo that i know is unaccredited and treats its animals poorly #just. please stop anthropomorphising animals in regards to their wants and desires #animal welfare #pro zoo #animal husbandry

Just seen a person call seaworld evil because one of the dolphins showed stereotypical behaviours (repetitive behaviours that have a variety of causes and is hard to manage/stop once it starts) and then call a video of a horse showing stereotypical behaviour (stable weaving specifically) cute and claiming the horse was dancing.

The hypocrisy is real in the anti-cap fandom

HAIL TO THE KING, BABY

it's like. the horror of war and bodies and the gore of power that demands people be brought violently under the heel. something else about renaissance discourses on tyranny, too. everything repeats itself. everything repeats itself. everything---

#comparatives tag #some people. on this webbed site. have some interesting brain rot about julius caesar. that is incredibly reductive in several ways #and it makes me think that some people. never did any reading outside of JC and tiktok #the idea that caesar is a Pro Common People figure comes with the implication that victims under roman imperialism ARENT people to you #he's an interesting figure with a lot of nuance for discussion but this site can get so reductive sometimes like good grief #same goes for the medici. lorenzo bought a slave and one of the medici cardinals had a human zoo. also the siege of florence #italian renaissance tag #roman republic tag #julius caesar #beware! the ides of march!

Reminder that this blog is against the dehumanization of antis.

They suck precisely because they are human, and should know better.

If you can dehumanize one group, you can dehumanize others. How long until I am a part of that?
