Zoo/Aquarium Hot Takes

[Leaf Productions]

Well that might just be the best argument on this thread so far, "It just is." Really nothing more to say?
Also weird how? Both sides have some odd exhibitry.

I think you're misunderstanding that this is an opinion and not a fact

I really am not that big a fan of zoos. Aquariums are far better imo.

people dont understand that some opinions are just facts and not to be disputed

If a Zoo doesn't have an African area, it's not worth going.

Another hot take:
if you have not seen Douc Langurs in a zoo you are not worth talking to

Theming is more important than rarer species.

But you haven’t really made an argument to back up your claim? Give examples in which way they are inferior, is this across the board that they have have indeed better exhibits for all species, and what is that information based on.

You certainly are a fun person to interact with

I personally believe that you could have phrased this a lot better in a way that wouldn't discredit the feelings and opinions of the new member, found above me. I would have instead phrased this more along the lines of, "Wow, what an interesting take! Do you have any examples of two exhibits for an animal, one in North America, and one in Europe, that displays where the Europe one is much better?"

Actually, that's a good idea!

Europe is better for zoos than NA

Generally speaking Europe has a far better idea of exhibitory and animal welfare.
whether it be that europe euthanises animals rather than keeping them aliving suffering on so many drugs that they may aswell be at an astroworld concert. or something as simple as size of enclosures

I do, but I don’t think you do buddy This is a thread about hot takes or unpopular opinions about zoos/aquariums. Not necessarily to grand stand that you feel a superiority complex over having seen a specific animal.

Hot take: chimps are common trash apes compared to the more majestic gorilla, interesting bonobo, and colorful orangutans.








*OK, not really, I just miss our zoo having them still (even if I think it was the right decision to move them out).

Actually I didn’t discredit, I asked so what their sources are. Not once did I say they’re wrong to feel or think that way, I asked what I felt was pertinent to the opinion made.

My statement is very much an unpopular opinion (which is only proven by you being upset)

 

[Kr0xxx]

Birds are boring filler animals

Actually it hasn’t and your opinion doesn’t hold water since I haven’t yet seen said specie, yet we continue this beautiful back and forth

I already posted a reason as to why europe is better.

You know what does hold water? Aquariums and fish tanks. Which should be more common in zoo's.
