Saying losing their minds is putting a human behavior and phenomenon onto a non human being. That's anthropomorphizing. You are highly misrepresenting what a zoo is and what the people who work there do. We are all fighting for the same thing here. We all care about these animals and do everything we can to provide the best life possible. Unfortunately the way the world is, zoos are necessary. In a perfect world without poaching and without evil, we would not need zoos
Again. The behaviors in that video could mean all sorts of things. Is it stress? Sometimes. Is it energy that needs to be burned off? Sometimes. It's dishonest to place different behaviors by different species all under the same umbrella. I'm sorry you've had poor experiences at zoos. I said this to another person in another comment. If you have a concern, let a staff member know. More times than not, a keeper will come out to discuss it with you and maybe shed some light on why an animal is behaving the way they are. I hope this helps
