I will GLADLY go vegan:

Just as soon as these major vegan organizations understand the importance of accredited zoos and aquariums. 👍

Everyone who follows me, PLEASE sign and repost this petition.

We CANNOT let a data center be built right next to the Nashville Zoo, it would be horrible for both human health and animal welfare, and the zoo is highly praised for its breeding programs.

@felabayomi @RT_com they do it through World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, through charity events specifically for conservation organizations, and a lot more. you have no idea what you're talking about.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

When I say “slippery slope” this is EXACTLY what I’m talking about.

[Phil Leotardo's crushed head 🍉 @IlLsTaTeMoNsTeR]

Just like the circus this needs to end zoos and aquariums as well

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@prapthi_m Cannot stress enough how cheap of a generalization that is.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@NimkoAli All of them?

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@domdyer70 @willtravers @BornFreeFDN See THIS is a much better use of your “skills” Dom.

You know what they say about a broken clock…

p.s BornFree is still garbage, but even compost can be useful.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@JamieWoodhouse I don’t want a data center near a zoo. That simple.

Three environmental groups have sued the Trump administration for allowing SpaceX to build on a federally protected habitat for the endangered Ocelot.

[WWWendy @PrincessWB420]

@janischshane Zoos are the driving force of conservation and breeding endangered species. Look up The San Diego Zoo.
Or
The Bronx Zoo.
Better yet, watch SECRETS OF THE ZOO on Prime Video.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@courage_mindset @kc7328 @cgai44 @NatureUnedited So captivity under a different name with less regulations?

Great idea… not.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@SolsticeSis561 @nexta_tv Entirely depends on the zoo. Some are good, some are bad.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@SCynthia94725 @hollylilly22 @CurlyFreys @HQNewsNow @cjstrickling Zoochosis is not actually based in science. It was a term created by an anti-zoo organization to push hatred towards zoos.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@y2lorlor Cannot stress how misleading this is.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@DERVIEMOO You only invoke Dr. Goodall to push YOUR beliefs.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@Ari_Draws_orcas AZA should also defend their staff but we know that’ll never happen 🙃

[Ari @Ari_Draws_orcas]

Not using Ai should be a AZA requirement

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@taeminluvr7 @primatemia Had me until they started generalizing ALL zoos.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@SCynthia94725 @HQNewsNow @cjstrickling Sanctuaries don’t save species, accredited zoos do.

[GentilisGorille🦍🌿GG @zooper173]

Great story to share as zoos constantly get kicked and are under appreciated too often, zoo keepers especially. Working both sides of the aisle in animal care, I’ll always state how much working together (zoos & sanctuaries) gives the best positive impact.

[Damien @ThatZooKid]

@NextGEM2018 It won’t stop at JUST elephants though. THATS the problem.
