And sometimes people will describe zoos as a transactional thing between us and the animals. Like "we give them food and shelter, so looking pretty is the least they can do" kinda thing.
That's the same argument carnists use to defend every other instance of keeping animals in captivity, and it annoys me so much. Animals don't need humans to give them food and shelter, and they definitely don't need to "earn a living" serving humans.
