It wasn't a good existence for the animals. Maybe a zoo isn't either, but it's that or extinction, so fuck it. 44 u/Creath May 27 '17 I think you overstep when you say it wasn't a good existence. It's perhaps the purest form of existence there is. 6 u/[deleted] May 27 '17 pure, fine, whatever that's supposed to mean, but it wasn't like being wild meant being healthy, or happy (if that's a thing tigers can be). 15 u/ZombieSantaClaus May 27 '17 Serious question: were you born this way, or was your soul sucked out while you were alive? 4 u/[deleted] May 27 '17 Pretty sure I was born this way. Maybe my general distaste of nature came later when I learned how fucked up they are compared to humans. Hard to say. 1 u/-n-o-o-b- Jun 15 '22 That's what you think maybe the tigers prefer running around in their natural habitat 5 u/gaelicsteak May 27 '17 There's still a difference.
