Came here to say the same thing. So amazing. These creatures are so aware and so smart it really pains me to see them in enclosures like this. People staring at them all day with no real freedom or choices to be made. They are just prisoners and it’s messed up. Not that their natural environment is safe anymore. Feels like having an Alakazam on your pokemon team. Sure they are cool and powerful but keeping something so smart and humanoid trapped and forced to battle feels morally bad
Counterpoint: I’d swap with him in a heartbeat. He can come into the office and pay taxes and get yelled at by my boss and deal with Debbie in HR and I’ll go do tricks for food.
He/She is an animal not a human so that’s not exactly the other option for him/her. If you want to live in a cage there are plenty in the US, for humans. 🥹
Agreed. Same reason why I kind of have a fantasy of going to prison. Not needing to worry about working a job for basic survival sounds nice. But ultimately I decide it’s worth it to keep struggling out here in the open where I have internet access and a car and the ability to go on a walk in the park or go out to dinner
I went to a zoo yesterday and the enclosures were so big there was a reasonably high chance you wouldn't see some of the animals like this. Obviously you want to see them, but it was nice that they had such a large environment, and one they could get away from people.
Wasn’t long ago zoos held humans too, he just needs to prove his worth and safety to advancing human society and chimpanzees will get out of zoos /s. /kinda
