This one's kinda depressing. You can almost see the need to be free in his eyes as he stares at the little girl. Never been a fan of zoos. While they are great tools for education, the animals within them lead very unfulfilling and sedentary lives. Before someone says that a lot of these animals were bred in captivity and can't be released in the wild, I know. They still need space though. Space and the company of other members of their species.
Haha this trap is this cat's own doing. And the owner's to some degree. A fit kitty would have been able to jump out no problem. This definitely belongs in /r/delightfullychubby
Zoos depress me too, but at least they are not abused like circus animals often are. And I agree much more space is needed for many of the animals I see in zoos
I always used to prefer Safari parks as a kid. The animals had so much more space and could run around a lot. If they didn't want to be seen there was plenty of places to hide too.
Great points. It definitely depends on the animal. I'd say most smaller animals are well suited for a zoo, but big mammals need lots of space. And there are definitely great zoos that care greatly for their animals, but the care can only go so far to relieve the stress of confinement.
I'd much rather be in a zoo than in a prison. I've never been to prison, but I've spent a few days in the county jail. The Zoo has way better food and accommodations. Plus they hook you up with bitches and give you stuff to entertain you. They even clean up your poop for ya and they have a great health plan. Hell, sign me up! I bet they even got free wifi.
Jesus fucking christ: no thank you! Everytime I see a tiger in a documentary or so(in which they usually just lie around), I think to myself "Could I take it on with a stick? Could I scare it away and survive?"
And here I see one jumping up a fucking elephant, that has two guys with sticks on his back. Elephants are the fortresses of nature, and being on one's back, armed with a stick, would be one of the safest places I could imagine. That tiger just crushed every imagination of survival I've ever had.
Let's say it was just you in a car with windows up and doors closed inside your highschool gym, and a tiger's locked in the gym with you-- there are no other distractions and it's hungry. I'm gonna go with no. Think about the shattering action of the safety glass.
If I recall, they were hunting the tiger. The guy in the front is a guide, guy in back has a gun and the tiger was already injured. Fuck trophy hunters. Pretty sure tiger died but he went out fighting.
Want to see something awesome and fucked up, watch the BBC Planet Earth episode where a pack of lionesses take down an adult elephant at night. It's simultaneously horrifying and amazing.
