Quand je dis que les zoos c'est de la merde...
CNAnimalRightsAlert@animals_cn
This is the current state of tigers at a zoo in Sichuan Province, China.

@pitboxer_crafts @animals_cn You’re using a bad zoo to generalize the entire profession.
English

@animals_cn While zoos pretend to provide for the future of endangered species, they are a lie built on a foundation of lies. Look at the SeaWorld Orcas.

@teamveganfta Again with this? Zoochosis isn’t even a REAL term. It was coined by BornFree to demonize zoos.
You lie about ALL zoos instead of actually doing anything.
English

Confinement causes stress and unnatural behaviors (like zoochosis) 😵💫
Limited space prevents natural movement and instincts 😣
Animals often lack mental stimulation 😫
Captive breeding rarely helps wild populations 💔
Animals are taken from natural habitats and social groups 🐘
Profit and entertainment can outweigh animal welfare 💰
If you truly care about animals, don’t support zoos! 🚫

@allaseal Every AZA zoo needs to push for an investigation into these calls this is fucking ridiculous. How many more zoos have to go through this before it’s taken seriously?

@Tyler496 @footballfoodfun @pleiade5ubaru I worked at a zoo, they are. We take in rescued and injured animals that aren’t able to be released. Not to mention we take in critically endangered and extinct in the wild species that can’t survive in the wild anymore. Zoos aren’t just made up of captive descendants.

Wait till you find out who ACTUALLY saved the remaining sloths.

@peta //Don’t visit any zoos, period!
English

@teamveganfta @JohnOberg Ah yes, John. The guy who lies about zoos and blocks anyone who catches on to his tricks.
English

@12JJJJ12 @JaredEMoskowitz Sanctuaries didn’t save these sloths.
Accredited zoos did. 😉
English

@JaredEMoskowitz Great, but they don’t belong in zoos either send them to a Sanctuary!!
English

@kuripichu @Centralflzoo @LAZoo Your beloved sanctuaries are lackluster and do nothing for wildlife conservation. Typing in all caps doesn’t make you correct.
English

@ThatZooKid @Centralflzoo @LAZoo Zoo supporters will say anything to justify confinement.
THEY BELONG IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, HOME OR A SANCTUARY BUT NEVER A ZOO ENCLOSURE.
They shouldn't have been snatched from the wild to a profit facility to begin with. And now to another. ENOUGH !
English

Sloth Update – Today’s delivery included vaccines and…poop?
Yep. 💩.
The veterinary team at @LAZoo , a fellow AZA-accredited organization, sent us a fresh box from their healthy sloths for what’s known as a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT).

When they tell you that “zoos don’t do any actual conservation,” remember this moment.

@ProtectTheWild_ When you lie, it’s hard to tell when you’re ACTUALLY telling the truth.
Ever heard of the boy who cried wolf?
Protect the Wild@ProtectTheWild_
That viral footage of gorillas left at Bristol Zoo says it all — lost, bored, broken. 👉 The zoo claims they’re “fine,” but that’s ridiculous. They’re still trapped, still denied freedom. Zoos call it conservation, but it’s captivity — animal prisons built for profit, not protection.

@ProtectTheWild_ I presume your opinions apply to @ChrisGPackham zoo on the isle of white also ?
English

@zoos_aquariums this is getting out of hand. This is the 3rd zoo in recent days. You need to make a statement NOW.
Phoenix Zoo@phoenixzoo
English

@kuripichu @Centralflzoo @LAZoo Please do more research on the topic of import/exporting animals and the plethora of problems that come with it.
These sloths cannot go back to the wild.
English

@ThatZooKid @Centralflzoo @LAZoo They were donated to the zoo that is attending them now. Once recovered THEY DON'T BELONG IN A ZOO, THEY DESSERVE MUCH BETTER.
THEY DESERVE TO LIVE THEIR NATURAL LIFE IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

Hot take: zoos get way too much hate.
The California condor, Arabian oryx and black-footed ferret exist today ONLY because of zoo breeding programs.
Zoos bought time for species that had none left.
That deserves more credit.

NYC Zoo Rehabilitates #Birds Rescued from Vehicle Dashboard | via @YahooNews
Fourteen #toucans that were trafficked & confiscated at the US-Mexico border last year have been successfully rehabilitated at the @BronxZoo.

@Centralflzoo @LAZoo Once they are health recovered must be freed in a sanctuary or natural original environment.
NO ZOO !
