Hello comrades. I don't think I've ever posted a particular question on this site but I've been thinking a lot recently about zoos. Specifically should they exist? Are they a good idea to have them while the world is being destroyed by capitalism? Should they exist after the revolution?

    Last time I went to an aquarium I heard a seal yell and the only way I can describe it is that he yelled mournfully

      I'm generally on the side of zoos but am strongly against aquariums. What a waste of resources, and the animals are not happy there. At least zoos seem better at keeping land animals happy and healthy.

        Interesting. Couldn't certain animals in the aquarium be happy there? We're kinda destroying all the coral reefs and so it would most likely be a good idea to have a few giant coral reef tanks in various places to preserve that sort of environment until the ocean is cleaned up right? Maybe only having them in warm land environments would reduce heating costs.

          that's possible, but a lot of the smarter ones like sea mammals and octopodes do not like being kept in enclosures.
