conzoo

(Concept zoophilia.)

A term for individuals who they are more attracted to the concept of zoophilia than actually attracted to any real life animals.

Archiving is encouraging and appreciated!

people are so scared to even be attracted to fictional animals, it's sad to see and I can't even blame them!

people act like being turned on by the fictional anthropomorphed (but feral) dog on your screen will send you to the eighth layer of hell but like no, no it won't, your fine hun <3

if anything you're super cool and based on my eyes, if that counts for something

Anti-Zoophiles CAN FUCK OFF!

People who have a problem with pokephilia and/or zoophilia, I want no association with you. FUCK OFF! LEAVE ME ALONE AND DON'T EVER TALK TO ME!

...Something brought back traumatic memories of abuse from my childhood for being a zoo and I felt the need to remind everyone who either browses my content or has abused, gaslight and manipulated me in some way before.

I do my best to avoid most people and places who even hint at discrimination against zoophiles (it gives me bad PTSD).

People don't know how much shit I and others go through on a day to day bases because of our attraction. It limits my options of human interaction but I just CANNOT tolerate heartless bitches.

Hogle Zoo is an AZA accredited facility, opening up a new area 3 acre area called "Wild Utah" to feature various native Utah species. 3 of those animals are going to be orphaned cougar cubs that were rescued and unable to survive in the wild on their own.

Note that 2 of these cubs have shortened ears and tails because of frostbite. They were rescued in Nebraska where the weather conditions were severe, and again, these cubs were unequipped to handle it on their own.

This would be a very positive story about giving orphaned cubs a second chance at a good place where they will receive all the care that they need... or so you would think.

Instead, multiple people on the comments were asserting that they were just going to prisons, one even going so far as to say that it would've been better to just let them die.

Wonderful. Nothing says "I love animals" than explicitly saying that they're better off dead than at an accredited zoo. Again, you will note that 2 of the 3 were suffering things like frostbite when they were rescued. There is nothing humane about letting animals that are within your power to help die like that.

I cannot, and will never, understand the "logic" behind this kind of mindset. Yes, baby orphaned animals die in nature all the time. No, we cannot save them all. But for those we can help... why not help them? And why is a life well cared for at an accredited zoo somehow worse for them than suffering a slow and painful death from starvation and exposure?

These animals do not have the same concepts of freedom vs. prison like we do. All they knew was that their mother is gone, and they were cold and starving.

Yes, bad or less than ideal zoos exist. Hogle Zoo is not one of them. Zoos and aquariums are not universally prisons, and if you think that, then let me just ask... what kind of prisons have you been to!? Seriously, all of the animals I've had the privilege to work with eat better than I do, and are treated vastly better than human prisoners are. How privileged must you be to think that all zoos and prisons are equivalent to one another!

Here's the reality: the zoological industry is a complex, nuanced thing that is ever improving and expanding. We're not stuck in the 1970s like you are. Stop judging animal welfare based on vibes, and stop drinking the PETA, HSUS et al. kool aid, because they're lying to you.

Someone apparently blocked me for defending therian zoos on their hate post (figures), so anyways as long as you aren't offending you aren't a depraved fuck for an attraction out of your control. Fuck that shit; the hate towards zoos in the therian community is shameful.

I will put my foot down and say I would rather stand with zoos than beings who shit on a real part of their community for, again, an attraction they cannot control. Attraction DOES NOT EQUAL action. I do not care if it's a hot take to say 'oh hey let's not call beings disgusting for existing, that's textbook bigotry'. I will not shut up about this.
