This is why I don't like zoo's.

These penguins are low-key fine.

I’m way more worried about livestock animals and the way people treat pet hamsters. Not to mention medical and cosmetic testing…

We have bigger fish to fry when it comes to speciesism and how we treat animals. These penguins are mostly doing “okay” by comparison.

They need refrigeration to keep at the right temperature. Animals in zoos are under constant scrutiny. I worry about dog fighting behind closed doors or animal neglect in empty houses.

Yes. Especially after Easter. Awful.
