I was sent this map without a source but I thought it was impressive nonetheless. It shows the SeaWorld parking lot in yellow. The green dot is where Orcas spend their lives.

edit: This is Seaworld San Diego, California

    You need a place where people can interact with animals so they can start to appreciate them.

    So humans need irl interactions to show empathy?

      Have you interacted with humans? How can you ask something like that?

        Have you interacted with humans?

        Only when i’m forced to.

        How can you ask something like that?

        With a keyboard.

        Agreed… you still don’t require irl contact afaik… is grasping the concept of making animals suffer bad so hard to get unless you actually see animals suffering?

          I tried to point out that we can only protect nature when people actually want that. Because it costs money and is inconvenient. How do you get people to like nature and not want to destroy it actively or passively? Zoos are one such way. There is no human-animal interaction that is inherently neutral or positive, it is always in some way bad for the animals.
