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!

Para rights are human rights.

Why do so many sanctuaries give gourds to their animals for enrichment? Is it just generally harmless and fun for a lot of animals?

They're edible, healthy veggies, and fun enrichment!

Would you rather have your chicken nuggies on a plain old plate or have to fish them out of a bag and box?

Even for animals that don't enjoy eating pumpkin, they have to play and interact with it to get the treats inside. October is awesome because now is when the pumpkins are ripe and also its great for the visitors enjoyment. Never underestimate festivities and guest enjoyment! A lot of education centers focus on family activities since not all adults are crazy zoo lovers like me they mostly go with families so having the animals also be as enthusiastic about Halloween is a great way to engage the kids who are passionate about halloween and trickortreating.

It's also just adorable AF!

Check out some of these awesome Zoo Halloween times!!!

Please someone carve a pumpkin and fill it with chicken nuggies for me please ok thanks

The wild is not some fantastical place where the animals live 'free'. They are a slave to nature, nature kills half of the litter of babies. Nature starves animals to death, in nature two animals of the same species will kill each other for territory or mates. Out in nature, animals consistently die of parasites. "They do this in the wild" is no excuse for taking dumb risks.

when people tell me they think sloths are the cutest animals it makes me think that they never really looked at a sloth before cause they're weird af

Trump cancels whale and sea turtle protections

The rule change was made despite the fishing industry's having proposed the measures in the first place, according to a report.

I wonder if Animal Rights Activists are going to do some actual conservation work and reverse this to protect wild species or if they’re going to keep up with their “empty the tanks” nonsense. Cause obviously they’re SO much more protected in the wild than facilities.

are you seriously pro-seaworld?? seriously??

I am. I feel like the ‘I stand with SeaWorld’ tag kind off spells it out. I’ve seen the good work zoos and aquariums do and most model practices after SeaWorld because they’re one of the leader in animal husbandry and training field. I’ve also witnessed SeaWorlds practices first hand and been to lectures on thier research and training that are helping make things better for both wild animals and animals in their care. No one is perfect but they are working and working to make it damn near perfect.

Also just a reminder that ANOTHER cetacean has died in an animal rights activist sea pen.

Orcas are never meant to be captive. They have ailments and injuries because theyre not supposed to be in confined spaces.

Oceans are never meant to be overfished, polluted with plastic, oil, and noise, and filled with boats. Orcas have boat strikes, and are starving and dying because that’s not what the oceans are supposed to be like. Yet here we are. Orcas are dying and endangered, Seaworld is preventing their extinction. Message me and we can chat more about it.
