> You're arguing that a lion that sits in such a small cage it cannot run, has nothing to hunt, and little to do, is better off because they might get ticks out

> You're arguing that a lion that sits in such a small cage it cannot run, has nothing to hunt, and little to do, is better off because they might get ticks out in the wild? Really?
You are making a straw man argument.
There is no reading of their position for which this is a reasonable interpretation.
- coldtea 8y agoIt sounds like a very valid interpretation of what the parent said -- that being in a zoo is often better because animals in the wild often live in misery (they "starve" or "have ticks"). Except if you have in mind some huge zoos, where animals run, hunt, and explore a large area free, the parent's is a perfectly reasonable understanding of what the grandparent wrote, not a strawman.
