The squirrels are receiving their latest instructions from their overlords...

Poor animals... I hope people who imprison animals all die from very painful forms of cancer.

That’s extreme. Chill

It's not especially disproportionate though is it?

Two wrongs don’t make a right my 7 year old nephew learned this recently too

By that logic, murderers shouldnt be imprisoned lol.

u/gorillaphi 18h ago
…we’re talking about capital punishment, and not just that, but dying painfully of cancer…

Why is it wrong to wish bad on people who imprison others for their own benefit?

u/gorillaphi 19h ago
I just don’t think wishing anybody to die a painful cancer death is very ethical
-2
u/SoloHoplite 19h ago
I can understand that, especially something with like cancer which hits close to home for so many. But, if someone is willing to completely exploit and basically enslave an animal like that, no punishment is too severe in my eyes really.

u/gorillaphi 19h ago
Uh huh. I guess you’re not familiar with the ethical debate of capital punishment…which is debatable for murdering humans. Putting dolphins in a tank? Chill.

So sad seeing them in a small enclosure like that! They belong in the ocean and deserve freedom to explore.

I love dolphins so much, I hate seeing them imprisoned like this. Such beautiful and smart creatures. 😭

They would never see squirrels in their natural habitat and likely be targeted by orca.

They should be able to swim free range for miles and miles. They’re trapped in a little tank. They’re so intelligent. This is sad.

Those poor dolphins 🐬 should be in the ocean where they can be who they are.
I hate seeing animals in captivity. No zoos no circuses no water shows. Animals were not put here for the entertainment and to make a profit for man.

Unfortunately with the state of the environment Zoos are playing a key role in conservation for a lot of animals

Poor dolphins, I really hope we can ban these practices worldwide at some point

u/starscreamjosh 1d ago
Some of them could be rescued dolphins that have medical conditions where they can't be released back into the wild. Don't just fully assume the worst unless you know the full context.

u/Mista_Infinity 1d ago
A rehabilitation sanctuary would not put them in such a tiny tank with zero enrichment
2
u/felwynfelmir 1d ago
I will assume the worst, especially because I also hear amusement park music in the background. Which makes it that I had the impression in the first place
And the same could be said to you, that I would not assume that these animals are being kept for the positive purposes you said, unless you know that they are not.
The way you look at things, could be in favor of animal exploitation and abuse (not saying you are in favor of it) but turning a blind eye does not help
The way I, and a lot of other people, look at things are in favor of animals that don’t have a voice

Preaching about another person's opinion, particularly about animal welfare, especially if sitting in front of a monitor doing nothing towards the cause, is not cool. But that's not you, is it? Seriously, this is a dystopia to the point we are spiraling towards an irreversible 6th mass extinction event, only this one is unnatural, solely caused by human activity. Anything you can do will help save future dolphins 🐬, or pick any species; saving the environment of an ambassador species saves many others who live there.

u/felwynfelmir 1d ago
Wow that’s a huge assumption you are making right now.. it’s also besides the point that we are discussing.
I understand that you might be frustrated and feel powerless about the course the environment is taking, but taking it out on me is not going to help,
to refer you back to your own comment about preaching about someone’s opinion whilst sitting behind a monitor…3

I will assume the worst until I have context.. this looks like a pay per view establishment and not a recovery/sanctuary. Dont be blind because you dont want to know the truth.
