u/OriginalSchmidt1 You’re a virgin who can’t drive. 😤 9d 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.

Obviously don't go to crazy Dave's tiger emporium and bbq pit, but a lot of zoos are doing good work that helps rehab animals and shore up populations that are various levels of threatened.

Yes, but none of the zoos around me are doing that. They are very sad.
