I've talked about this before, this was a very sad and useless attempt at gaining inclusion by ZNA (Zoophiles of North America) which ironically ended up having their head Chair member I think, Sapho, trying to "educate" kids about zoophilia and creating massive personal confusion among children on Ticktok, kids who loved their dogs like any other kid were suddenly being convinced they were "zoophiles" and that they needed to wave their newly designed zoo flag proudly! WTF. Then Sapho got doxed as a fucking pedo (big surprise) which unravelled the whole thing, and as far as I'm concerned that was great karma because this shitstorm was born out of a purely shit idea in the first place. If anyone thinks anti-zoo sentiment is all about us poor zoos just not being understood and accepted, they need to try taking a step back away from their anthropocentric, selfish thinking and look at the bigger picture. This isn't about us. The reality is this is mainly about the animals. They are victims in many cases. They are fetishized, objectified and coerced in most cases at best. Anyone with just a moderate amount of understanding of canine and equine behavior and mating habits, nonverbal cues can tell that the way most,
yes most, so called zoos on this forum and much darker places like FORBIDDEN_WEBSITE! (which everyone loves promoting here) treat their nonhuman partners is abusive, coercive or disrespectful or all of the above. We've got the rampant unintentional and intentional abuse throughout the "community" by clueless zoos who refuse to study and understand the behavior and nonverbal communication of their chosen species, and of course the zoosadists, combined with the religious bigots, and the people who view all nonhuman species as little children which makes us equal to pedos (which Sapho helped solidify, great job

)... it's obvious that the only zoo flags that should be waving around are those encouraging people within the community at large to
START FUCKING LIVING UP TO THE WORD ZOOPHILE AND ZETA which by the way stands for "Zoophiles for the Ethical Treatment of Animals", a word that so many "zoos" (more like fetishists and other animal users who objectify them) claim to identify with, even though ironically one of its principles is the discouragement of fetishism and objectification of nonhuman animals.
(Que the idiotic "zooier than thou" arguments from all the "zoos" who can't think of anything but themselves, their feelings and their sexual wants!)
Plus, the whole idea of making zoo legal is equally anthropocentric, careless, selfish bullshit. No system of law and law enforcement on earth run by humans could or would ever be able to, or would ever want to, protect all of the animals being abused after such a law is passed. It would be impossible, which anyone aware of the current situation can clearly see. The decision to start this movement was rooted in a very biased perspective perpetuated by a personal desire for personal sexual freedom, with very little thought for the wellbeing of nonhuman animals in general. Ever notice that basically the only areas of the world where bestiality is legal is where they don't give a shit about nonhuman welfare? There's reasons for that.
Bottom line is nothing will ever change (for the better) for zoos and nonhuman animals everywhere until that anthropocentric delusion of inequality in the minds of non-zoos and the minds of those who call themselves zoos is corrected. Who knows how many hundreds of years the bulk of humanity is away from that.
I'm not even going to follow this thread so don't bother replying to me, I'm so fed up with the rampant stupidity.
