Previously unknown is wrong. I've seen news before of a dolphin who was kept at an aquarium because of an injury, and when released back into the wild he taught other wild dolphins dance tricks that he saw the tame dolphins do at the aquarium.
@ Gaulder I'm sorry. I wasn't saying any of this to just give a criticism out of thin air, like some people just want to give criticisms for everything. The reason why I take it so seriously is because I have a boyfriend who had been completely into this culture that we live in that resulted in the cartoon, and is struggling getting out of it, even though he wants to. It's something that hurts me a lot, to the point that I can barely enjoy my own youth anymore, and if it were something I could just "not take seriously" I would do it. Honestly I would. I wish I could just not care. But this culture ruins many people. And this artwork just supports it. I'm just upset that I had to run into it on neatorama, where I usually go to get away from all this.
It's easy to make fun of this when you're a guy, you don't get swamped by this imagery you feel like you have to compete with all the time. And I realize not every girl is as uptight like me on this, but I know many who are, and the reason is that it just hurts so deeply.
I'm sorry, I was just really pissed off at seeing all these sluts on ads and everything around my city, then when I turn on the TV, and my computer, and even pick up my cereal box to have breakfast...
I like neatorama because it takes my mind off feeling like a worthless piece of ****....
and stumble upon this.
GREAT.
[oh and yeah my comment does require wives obviously, but I remember some of you saying "my wife" or "my kids" or things like that]
I know I'm being crazy, but seeing girls like this hurts me a lot. Please don't make fun, it really does. I wish I could look somewhere and not be upset by this.
That's really awful. I understand if zookeepers themselves are not vegetarians, but eating these particular animals is very unnecessary (i mean, hippo??! you could at least save SOME species out there from human consumption if you can't save others) and I completely agree with Ge Rui about the irony of it all. That they feed these animals to visitors kind of hints that they don't care too much about the animals they're keeping in captivity.
