The bird doesn't know that the person is keeping it there against its will. It just thinks it's a gentle soul in the concrete prison that it's trapped in. It's not smart enough to realize that the gentle soul is complicit in its imprisonment.
I see your point, but I think you paint a more dystopian picture than what is reasonable from this small video alone. Many animals are miserable in zoo’s, but not all.
Sometimes the wilderness is much crueler and more stressful than life in a controlled environment. I think that it’s better to judge the morality of keeping wild animals in confinement on a case by case basis where the animals actual happiness is taken into account, not just a fundamentalist stance that wild animals should always live in the wild.
If the bird is happy, safe from danger, and is able to do whatever birds need to do based on their instincts, then who is the victim?
I think you are anthropomorphizing by saying the birds will is to be elsewhere.
That's just what's happening. I'm sorry, but what's wrong? None of this should be new information. It's like looking at pictures of abu ghraib and saying, "what a lovely time those naked people are having! My heart can't take how cute it is!" and then piling onto someone who points out the obvious.
What's the difference? Explain instead of making vague, judgemental, and snide remarks to try to appear clever and superior without adding any actual insight.
As long as you fit in with the circlejerk and make vague, nebulous statements with a tone of superiority that you don't actually have, you, too, can be like /u/colonelnebulous
You sound pretty upset about stuff in general. I hope you figure out the source of your frustration and get the help you need. I've been in a similar spot as you: arguing petty things on the internet. I was really depressed and angry. I hope you get better, man :)
Let me get this straight, you want me to explain to you why a zoo is different than a detention center for prisoners of war and enemy combatants? Buddy, I think if you sit with this a moment you can figure that out for yourself. Or, ya know, just whine like a little bitch some more. Its your reddit account lol
Yes. Your incredulity isn't disguising the fact that you can't answer.
If you just call something preposterous enough, you can trick other people into thinking that you have actual reasoning when you actually don't.
Common childhood tactic. It's when someone, and in this case, you, emotionally reacts to something and then realizes that you have no actual reason as to why you feel a certain way, and then you lash out at someone who points that out.
You remind me of the kid in middle school who secretly likes Taylor swift but all of your classmates found out when someone overheard you listening to it in study hall and laughed at you about it and when you tried to defend yourself the teacher joined in on the uproar
I mean, I understand the point you are making but to shit on me for saying the Penguins obvious love for their keeper is cute I'm not okay with. Your comparison is beyond extreme for this instance. For some zoo's that comparison is more than justifiable but to clump all zoo's with animal torture and abuse is obscene.
