Question: is a baby hippo, such as the one seen above, also capable of ripping me to pieces?

[-] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

It’s a pygmy hippo! Yes, they have a much smaller bite, but can still fuck your shit up.

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Nice, fuck me up cute fam

Hot take: wild animals shouldn't be in cages for entertainment

Not criticising OP. Just saying.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

Counterpoint: under capitalism the only way to fund a large animal medicine and rehabilitation facility is by charging admission for people to look at the animals.

Basically I agree that in a just world there's no reason for a zoo to exist but in this hell-like society i can't imagine another way to have the research and medical portion exist. Now I'm having an internal debate over whether the medical and research parts justify the zoo parts so I'm just gonna hit post

We can't even handle stray/unwanted cats and dogs, even though that's a serious problem we encounter every day. Zoos and aquariums do a lot of work with research and rehabilitation of animals. Cheetahs and white rhinos would have gone extinct by now if it weren't for zoos (though white rhinos are down to two females left in the world).

It's really shitty how animals have suffered dire consequences for human behavior. And humans won't even change the system to help our own pets, let alone our own species. Zoos charging admission for people to see something educational for the animals' benefit isn't a problem in the grand scheme of things.

Note: this only applies to accredited zoos and aquariums. There are non-research/rehabilitation facilities run strictly for profit, though they're becoming rarer as more governments around the world pass laws against them.

You have to post a source for me to believe you.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

Source: I made it up in my head while baked

[-] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

Kinda shitty to make an argument for animal entertainment prisons on vibes, tbh

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

Fair criticism. I had a similar doubt at the end of the post there but decided to hit post anyway. I'll try not to let the bad takes machine run too much

[-] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

Sorry. I guess my rage meter goes up when it's the animal thing. And I see enough massive carnist liberalism on Facebook that it's hard to restrain myself.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

No need to apologize you didn't even insult me you commented on the thing i did. At least that's how i read it but either way I'm in the wrong lol

[-] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

order-of-lenin

You're one of only 10% of the people in my life who can apologise, so you're better than most westoids
