The liberty is in not being forcibly relocated. Try to focus.
Note how far the question has already drifted from human zoos, to just whether it's good to contact people or not. This is not an accident. It's because the human zoo comparison was never defensible; it was trivial to force you to move the goalposts.
- scotty79 4y agoSo if you put cages over the animals in the jungle that's not a zoo because they never got relocated?
- lazide 4y agoWho is putting cages over anyone? And where did you get that idea? Preserves don’t do that either.
- scotty79 4y agoNobody. I'm just trying to understand what makes a zoo, a zoo. My intuition is more about not forcibly relocating but putting boundaries so that movement is restricted and safe observations can be performed for prolonged time.
- andrewflnr 4y agoHa, fair point, sort of. Dropping a cage on someone in situ is a very specific form of liberty denial that doesn't really have a name because no one does it.
