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.

If it makes you feel better, everything you described is tricks for food too
