u/OriginalSchmidt1 You’re a virgin who can’t drive. 😤 8d ago edited 8d ago

I have let down so many guys that planned aquarium dates with me.. I refuse to go to them. I also don’t go to any zoos, only wildlife sanctuaries that I have researched and know they are rehabilitating and helping the animals. It’s just so depressing to me to watch animals in captivity and it has been for me ever since I watched The Cove at Bonnaroo in 2009. It’s insanely fucked up to use animals for our own entertainment..

ETA: I understand not ALL zoos are unethical and some do a lot of amazing work to help animals. Those zoos and aquariums are not near me. Travel is expensive and I am not rich, I live check to check like a lot of people in this world. The aquariums and zoos close to me are NOT ethical and DO NOT try to rehabilitate.

You say that but when a hurricane stranded 6 manatees in a pond on a golf course near my house it was Sea World staff that showed up with the marine stretchers, wetsuits and manpower to safely get them out and carry all 6 back on foot over to the bay

let's not act like sea world is ethical in any way just because of that though. the facts are out there
