Just read “Free the Elephants and Orcas in Captivity [Editorial]\Such large, intelligent animals suffer when stuffed in a zoo” written by the editors of Scientific American. This topic of poor elephants and Orcas seems to be quite popular in these times. The title of this article speaks for itself.
Another Noble Savage Fantasy
To do good by animals seems to be just that has caught humans’ flight of fancy.
Free All Pets Held By Humans
If you follow the arguments presented by these editors and also animal rights activists you would have to by the same token free all pets currently held by humans for pleasure, entertainment, and companionship.
What about dogs or horses kept as pets, which are intelligent animals too and they used to be roaming around in herds with social behavior etc.
What about intelligent cats?
I am not sure how many animal activists, who are so fashionable and en vogue these days, sincerely propose to free all pets.
What Is Wrong With Keeping Elephants Or Orcas In Captivity?
Briefly, nothing as long as the animals are not harmed, treated fairly, and with respect. Captivity is not per se doing harm to animals.
On the contrary, like with dogs we may learn more about these animals and we may evolve together.
Why do humans condemn animals to live in the wild?
